"Itzli" and "Socalj" for Borderland Beat
News broke at 7:28 AM central time that two former leaders of Los Zetas, Miguel Ángel "Z-40" Treviño Morales and Óscar Omar "Z-42" Treviño Morales were being extradited to the United States. While their lawyer denied this was the case, rumors increased that they, along with eight other prisoners from the Altiplano prison, possibly including Rafael Caro Quintero, were being extradited. While news is still developing it seems that the first official confirmation has come from the Webb County Sheriff's Office.

In the following hours, multiple news outlets and law enforcement channels have confirmed many more, 29 in total today including high-level traffickers and cartel bosses.
"The @FGRMexico and the #SSPC report that, this morning, 29 individuals who were being held in various penitentiary centers across the country, deprived of their liberty, were transferred to the #UnitedStatesOfAmerica. These individuals were wanted due to their ties to criminal organizations involved in drug trafficking, among other crimes."
"The @FGRMexico and the #SSPC report that, this morning, 29 individuals who were being held in various penitentiary centers across the country, deprived of their liberty, were transferred to the #UnitedStatesOfAmerica. These individuals were wanted due to their ties to criminal organizations involved in drug trafficking, among other crimes."
News of the increase in extraditions follows a recent Washington D.C. meeting including Mexico's Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. In recent weeks, multiple longtime drug traffickers have been extradited from Mexico to the United States including Sinaloa Cartel mid-level traffickers and gang leaders.
“The FBI and our partners will scour the ends of the earth to bring terrorists and cartel members to justice,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “The era of harming Americans and walking free is over.”
“Today’s actions are a consequence of a White House that negotiates from a position of strength, and an Attorney General who is willing to lead the Department with courage and ferocity,” said Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove. “By prosecuting these defendants to the maximum extent allowable under the law, we honor the memory of Special Agent Camarena, Deputy Sherrif Byrd, and other victims who are far too numerous, as well as decades of hard work in the trenches by our law enforcement partners.”
“Today, 29 fugitive cartel members have arrived in the United States from Mexico, including one name that stands above the rest for the men and women of the DEA — Rafael Caro Quintero. Caro Quintero, a cartel kingpin who unleashed violence, destruction, and death across the United States and Mexico, has spent four decades atop DEA’s most wanted fugitives list, and today we can proudly say he has arrived in the United States where justice will be served,” said DEA Acting Administrator Derek S. Maltz. “This moment is extremely personal for the men and women of DEA who believe Caro Quintero is responsible for the brutal torture and murder of DEA Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena. It is also a victory for the Camarena family. Today sends a message to every cartel leader, every trafficker, every criminal poisoning our communities: You will be held accountable. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far you run, justice will find you.”
Possible Terrorism Charges?
Many of the defendants were subject to longstanding U.S. extradition requests that were not honored during the prior Administration, but that the Mexican government elected to transfer to the current U.S. government in response to the Justice Department’s efforts pursuant to President Trump’s directive in Executive Order 14157, entitled Designating Cartels and Other Organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists, to pursue total elimination of these Cartels.Federal prosecutors will evaluate whether additional terrorism and violence charges are appropriate based on the policy set forth in Executive Order 14157, and whether capital punishment is available based on Executive Order 14164, entitled Restoring the Death Penalty and Protecting Public Safety, as well as the Attorney General’s Feb. 5 guidance regarding the death penalty.

Caro Quintero was Extradited also. So was la Kena. So was Lucky Z-16 and hand full of others. Over 10 in total
ReplyDeleteThey’ll be executed , remember what trump said
DeleteLa Kena? Cousin from Matamoros said he paid a big amount to be let go after being captured
DeleteOff topic, I had a vanilla latte with a shot of expresso, and OMG... 30 minutes later I ran inside an office building, and completely decimated the toilet, including the entire bathroom as the toxic stench wafted out into the lobby. As I was leaving I overhead somebody walking into the bathroom "damn, somebody went scorched earth".
DeleteWord on the street is El Super Porky, El Buche and Broly Banderas voluntarily turned themselves in at the border, but no one knew who they were so were sent right back...no respect man.
DeleteCapital Punishment is not applicable on extradition cases, per the Geneva Convention.However,the U.S has a boat load of information now to go after corrupt Mexican Politicians.get your popcorn, its going to be an interesting show!
DeleteDoesn't Mexico's extradition treaty with the US have as a stipulation that the death penalty is off of the table in the US?
DeleteThe exchange for Mayo has begun. IAG should be worried.
ReplyDeleteMayo ain't going anywhere.
Delete1222 wow your completely delusional. Mayos going down for fetty. He's dying in US jail little guy.
Delete12:22 delusional
DeleteMas sabe el Mayo por Mayo que por viejo. 👀
DeleteNah that’s wild, but in this time anything can happen. Who knows Mayo is known for being a smart guy maybe has some secrets MX don’t want US to know…. Time will tell.
Delete12:22 mayo is dying in prison
DeleteYour delusional
200 negative he will die in the US
DeleteSorry to break it to you, the drug game is going no where. All these old heads will be replaced
DeleteMayo is definitely going to die in prison
DeleteI believe it . Mayo had too much power and contacts all over Mexico for decades . He didn’t get caught he got betrayed , which goes to show that his contacts at the highest levels remained loyal .
DeleteThis is just Claudias way of kneeling to Trump! Long live the King!
DeleteOpalaaaaa history is happening right now...greetings from Dussledorf...
ReplyDeleteSaludos desde Wuppertal Compa!!!!
DeleteSaludos desde Hagen ahorita guey
DeleteSeriously ? Just need someone from Dortmund now.
DeleteNo reports of El Grenas being deported
ReplyDelete@12:38 el grenas is dead
DeleteEl grenas is dead bro.
DeleteIts all over the news...check You-Tube!
DeleteIt's a start. Now Mencha, Chapitos and Mayito wanted dead or alive!
ReplyDeletePresident Elons high on ketamine
DeleteMrs Sheinbaum just doing what papi Trump wants!
DeleteThey had that meeting in DC today
ReplyDeleteHarfuch and his detail
When the master whistles, the dog barks
DeleteLooks like that whistle didn’t work with General Cienfuegos. This is Mexico pretending to play along but it’s gonna cost the US the release of el Mayo to Mexican authorities. Wait and see
Deletespineless claudia had throw trump a bone.. the 30 days is almost up. If she didnt have results trump said he would impose tariffs on mexico.
ReplyDeleteSpineless? How about its time for Mexico to stop protectimg cartels? How about they save the lives of the innocent hard working people in Mexico? How about its time for the Narco culture to be put down and not worshipped? The fact you support the cartels is exactly whats wrong with Mexico.
DeleteLet's disband the Pri and Pan. After all. Their the reasons why Mexico is like that. By the way. Michoacan been having a lot of arrest lately.
Delete12:47 - too bad your anger at trump prevents you from distinguishing right from wrong.
DeleteIs there any politician in Mexico that isn't on the books for the Cartels? Does anything really work in Mexico? Seriously anything? Is there anywhere you can drink the tap water in the entire country. The cartels working directly with the government have just held Mexico back for so long, it's truly unbelievable.
DeleteShut the fuck . Spineless? She’s literally cleaning up house . And you still open up your pie hole. Trump is an idiot . Most of these laws have been around for a while. And the tariffs will affect EVERYONE . Except the rich .
DeleteLmao both of them are spineless. US just lost the war with Russia and China the people just don’t know it yet. Trumpet is bent over for Putin. Don’t be surprised if you see him sell Taiwan and make excuses for when China takes over
Delete1:56 some of the dead ones.
DeleteHave you seen what Mexico been doing to these cartel bosses? Ever since 2022 big dogs are being hunted! Name me a year where Calderon or Pena was able to get the big fishes on both sides without benefiting the other cartels!
Delete4:35 exactly. If it wasn’t for the “human rights “ people , they would be wiped out . Marina can finish them , but people want to act like these cartel fuckers are the “good” guys
DeleteWe will se photos of them now
ReplyDeleteYeah, you gotta put a human face on it.
DeleteInteresting to see how these mutts act in American custody, from which there is no escape, no bribing the warden, no hiding in laundytruck, no absurd amparos, no Indiana Jones tunneling to freedom..
Just knowing that your goose is cooked and there's no hope at all should take some of the swagger out of your step.
Rafael Caro Q always struck us as a weasily character, doesn't the story go that when Don Neto slept off a drunken bender and realized RCQ had killed Kike Camarena, he slapped him around for being a punk-ass bitch and fucking everything up for everybody?
Why you so mad for @1:39 keyboard warrior. You’d get bitch slapped in person trying to act tough I promise you that
DeleteLlorón
DeleteWow!!! Z40 & RCQ gonna have some interesting trials & are gonna get the book thrown at them… ADX fo’ life… I’m sure some enemies are lining up to testify to get time knocked off their sentence… maybe instead of doing 3 life sentences they will only do one!!! lol
ReplyDelete-Holden D. Cash
Maybe for 25 years instead. But for an L still, would be pointless. Especially if they still gotta be in a Pen. Rule 35 gotta show more love than that. You think if they told Mochomo 3 more years and your free he’d testify against one of them.
DeleteExchange to stop tariffs
ReplyDeleteyeah i almost fell off my chair when reading mileno. This is big news and will be huge relief for the many mexicans. Cant wait for the full list with all the names. Sad that no javier valdez is around to jump on the plane and report on their last trip.
ReplyDeleteMakes no sense trump don’t want criminals in the US but is now extraditing?? Lol moron MAGA’s are a bunch of idiots
ReplyDeleteCriminals welcome in u.s. PRISONS
DeleteThey are in prison where they belong. The fact you actually typed what you did shows how stupid ypu are. Now we all know....
DeleteHe (Cheeto Jesus) did give those 2 rapist from Rome a warm welcome. Talk about tough on crime. He pardon 600 violent criminals that assaulted police at the capitol.
DeleteOmg Cheeto Jesus! I'm going to use that from now on, thank you!
DeleteI’m surprised zeta brothers didn’t get extradited from the beginning.
ReplyDeleteI’m surprised you’re surprised.
DeleteAmerican and their obsession with Señor Caro lmaooo
ReplyDeleteWhich American was this?
Delete** Americans ** sorry lol.
DeleteDon’t be an ignorant person. Mexico is also American.
DeleteDEA killed Kiki not Caro. And I don’t care what others say.
ReplyDeleteI feel you , but your opinion and mine are irrelevant .
DeleteCIA killed him
Delete1:12 your full of molasses.
DeleteCIA (Special Activities Center Ground Branch ) not DEA.
DeleteSeemed like Zeta Brothers did have more power than other capos…. They lasted too long to be extradited.
ReplyDeleteNot power. They simply had dirt on the last cpl of administrations. If they had real power they'd still be running loose killing and torturing innocent's. Their money ran dry, so did their protection. Now, Miguel can pass kites and cuddle with his compadre Chapo.
DeleteSurprised Trevino brothers lates this long.
ReplyDeleteZeta Brother will for ever be the lowest of the low. Zeta handled the Chapo war good pero se pasaban de vrg con los inocentes.
ReplyDeleteWith all these things happening, chapos , mayos , Jaliscos and other top leaders will preferred to die in battle than to get arrested.
ReplyDeleteThen so be it
DeleteNow that they are oficially terrorist orgs the game has changed. The cartels dont hold the power anymore. They over played their hand and ruined Mexico.
ReplyDeleteFeliz gallardo se salva porque ya esta viejo sino también se va.
ReplyDeleteWho?
DeleteUS don’t care cuz if they wanted him they would take him too
Delete2:40 felix gallardo “ el padrino “ he’s old , deaf , and kinda blind.
DeleteMore show ponies for the circus. This won't change a thing until Mexico as a country decides to put a flea collar on and rid itself of the infiltration of the cartels in almost of every aspect of the Mexican life. Government, finance, security, tourism, heavy and light industry. Not sure how this is possible without a populace movement with some teeth, otherwise this a big yawn.
ReplyDeleteSome Mexican politicians and authorities will be starving for cash because there will be a lot less bribe money coming to them from the extradited criminals.
ReplyDeleteEpstein files coming out today , cartel bosses going up north ?? What’s next , Elon taking vice presidents job ? Lmaooo
ReplyDeletePuedo confirmar que durante la mañana a partir de las 5:00 am, pasaba un helicóptero de la fuerzas armada Mexicana del penal con dirección al aeropuerto de la C.D. de Toluca y fue muy raro ver tanto movimiento aéreo.
ReplyDeleteYo no mate a camarena..
ReplyDeleteLo dijo el numero 1
Abigail Gonzalez Valencia is a big name not on that list
ReplyDeleteApparently he is one of the two people from CJNG on the list including Menchos brother..great result if so
Delete🇩🇪 1.cant wait to see quarenta face as being extradited now,is caro quinteros hair white again!?;🤣2.game is changed now def,wouldnt be surprised if they arrest tocayo now (iag) so that he could be double crossed by goverment same as him and his dad and brothers double crossed mayo
ReplyDelete3.whats the story now with mochomo will he get some chance to get better deal while now is loads of gueys in us system and will have trials (he could possibly give statments against some of extradited bunch)
El viceroy at end got extradited aswell.I thought that he could get his chance on the old dfs-cia-uncle neto-brother amado connection not to come to us court
ReplyDeleteY la viejilla Claudia llorando
ReplyDeleteOuuuuu someone in the Feds is about to get a Pluggggggg.
ReplyDeleteAt these point they are all dumb letting themselves get captured and going out like that. This younger generation should learn and go out like Arturo Beltran. Better to go out guns blazing then to have to spend life in prison.
ReplyDeletePablo Escobar was the one that showed them how it's done from what not to do to what to do he wrote a book for everyone to follow. Arturo Beltran didn't last once the war broke out less then 5 years and he was done. I agree you either live like a king or die like a boss not end up in a cell like a chirping bird. Life continues after you die you just don't keep what you left.
DeleteEl Commandante Trump is not playing around.
ReplyDeleteCaro Quintero being tried for murder of U.S. drug agent.
ReplyDeleteMurder One..
Forget ADX, this fool headed to the electric chair in Marion, Indiana , sho nuff!
He's old , execution takes approx 20 years. He'll be in the hole by the time he sees execution same with mayo
DeleteThank you Donald Trump and Tom Homan!
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell did those two weenies do?
DeleteMade the Mexican president bend to their will the tariffs are still coming so all you misguided Mexican midget a

DeleteGood that they extradite 29 of those scum. The bad part is that the u.s justice department is overrun by maga Morons with no experience other than to troll on the internet like Kash Patel and others. Hope Cheeto Jesus doesn't pardon them or them escaping from prison since government workers are being layoff under the orange fatass.
ReplyDeleteTrash Patel
DeleteImagine if he pardoned them and gave them that gold card for $5Mil. The keyboard warriors in here would have a heart attack😂
DeleteFacts: everyone will be handed over including Chapo’s sons to trade for El Mayo. Watch this space.
ReplyDelete259 hands down stupidest comment on BB I have heard in a long time.
DeleteBruh even that old man viceroy...
