Extradition is the legal process by which one country transfers a person accused or convicted of a crime to another country for trial or punishment. This process is governed by treaties and domestic laws. Mexico's extradition of drug lords to the US highlights the complex relationship between the two countries. - Mexico extradited Rafael Caro Quintero, a notorious drug lord convicted of the 1985 murder of a US DEA agent, to the United States. - The extradition included 28 other prisoners wanted by the US government on various charges related to drug trafficking and other crimes. - The extradition occurred amidst ongoing diplomatic talks between Mexico and the US, addressing trade tensions and security concerns. - Some reports suggest the extraditions were influenced by threats of tariffs from the Trump administration. - The individuals extradited include leaders and managers of drug cartels recently designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
