Mexico transferred 37 cartel suspects to the U.S. in Jan 2026 without formal extradition, sparking legal and human rights concerns.
Lawyers and family members of Mexican cartel figures accuse the Mexican government of violating legal procedures by transferring nearly 100 detainees to the U.S. without formal extradition orders, including 37 individuals sent in January 2026.
The transfers, part of a broader effort under President Claudia Sheinbaum to strengthen ties with the U.S. amid heightened tensions under former President Donald Trump, have totaled 92 individuals since February 2025.
Mexican officials defend the moves as lawful and justified by national security concerns, but critics argue they bypass due process, deny legal recourse, and may be politically motivated.
Some legal representatives have filed criminal complaints against top officials, while former DEA officials support the transfers as necessary to disrupt cartel operations.
The controversy raises concerns over the rule of law and international legal norms.
