Mexico Hands Over 55 of the Most Dangerous Drug Dealers to America in a Secret Operation

Translation by SadaNews - The Wall Street Journal revealed that Mexican authorities handed over 55 of the top and most dangerous drug dealers to the United States over the past year, as part of a complex security operation characterized by secrecy and danger.

According to the report, as translated by SadaNews, the handover was carried out in multiple stages, unbeknownst to the prisoners themselves, to avoid any escape attempts or disruptions. About 2,000 security forces and fighters were tasked with securing the operation and ensuring its success.

The United States, for its part, aims to prevent these prisoners from taking advantage of prison conditions that allow them to manage their criminal activities from within. It also plans to expand investigations to gather additional intelligence on drug networks, including collaboration by some Mexican government officials with these gangs.

This step reflects an escalation in security cooperation between Washington and Mexico, in response to one of the most complex and dangerous challenges associated with organized crime in the region.
