El Mencho’s brother among 100 cartel suspects quietly extradited to US on drug charges: Report

In a significant development in the fight against drug trafficking, nearly 100 suspected cartel members have been extradited to the United States for prosecution. This group includes the brother of Nemesio 'El Mencho' Oseguera Cervantes, the notorious leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), who was recently killed by Mexican military forces. The extradition follows a designation of these individuals as terrorists, allowing for their transfer under international law. The CJNG, known for its violent tactics and extensive drug distribution networks, has been a primary focus for both Mexican and U.S. law enforcement agencies. The recent death of El Mencho, a pivotal figure in the cartel's operations, raises questions about the future structure of the organization and its ongoing influence in the drug trade. This operation is part of a broader strategy to dismantle powerful drug trafficking organizations that threaten public safety both in Mexico and the United States. As authorities continue to target high-ranking members and affiliates of these cartels, the implications for regional security and drug policy remain significant.
