Alleged leader in Mexican ‘narco-terror’ case, others expelled by Mexico


Curious how Mexico citizens feel about this?

Note: I don't need any opinions/statements/etc about specific USA administrations/Presidents/etc... the question is about how Mexico citizens view this - I'd guess this might go either way, however I'm curious how this is being conveyed/portrayed in the press within Mexico, etc.

Alleged leader in Mexican ‘narco-terror’ case, others expelled by Mexico appear in San Diego court
Among 37 reputed cartel leaders expelled by Mexico's government Tuesday was Pedro Inzunza Noriega, the lead defendant in a novel San Diego case alleging narcoterrorism charges


Five alleged drug traffickers, including two suspected of being high-ranking members of the Sinaloa cartel, appeared Wednesday in San Diego federal court a day after Mexican authorities sent them and 32 other alleged cartel figures to the U.S. to face charges.

Tuesday marked the third time since [the start of the current administration] that Mexico has forgone the lengthy extradition process and instead expelled large batches of suspected cartel members to the U.S. Mexican Security Minister Omar García Harfuch said on social media that the 37 people sent to the U.S. on Tuesday “represented a real threat to the country’s security.” He said 92 people have now been sent to the U.S. in the three recent expulsions.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that although the transfers were made at the request of the U.S. government, the decision was taken by her country’s National Security Council after analyzing what was “convenient for Mexico” and in terms of its “national security.”

“Mexico is put first above all else, even if they ask for whatever they have to ask for. It is a sovereign decision,” she said at her regular morning news briefing.

Are you aware that this has been going on for many years, in greater numbers? Maybe research how Mexican citizens felt about it in the past to get an idea. Maybe ask Mexican citizens you know themselves?

"Under Obama there were many many extraditions from MEX to US. In 2009 (first year Obama presidency), Mexico extradited a record 107 people to the US, a significant increase from 12 in 2000. High numbers continued under Obama; in 2012 there were 115 extraditions."

(That isn't an opinion or statement about past administrations, just hard facts to illustrate that Mexico extradicting dangerous criminals isn't anything new.)

I can't imagine that the average Mexican has issue with the basic act of dangerous criminals being removed from the country. I guess some may have issue with how or why it was done.

I asked my brother in law in Sonora what he thinks as a lawyer. He is super happy that they are sending them to the US. He said if not, they have a great chance of "escaping".

Of note, these are not extraditions going thru the normal channels. These are expulsions without any other process. Makes me think the heat is on Sheinbaum to show some rapid cooperation or else.
