The United States has made a major splash in its fight against organized crime and terrorism, capturing 37 Mexican nationals wanted for serious federal charges. Among those brought to justice are leaders of notorious cartels like the Sinaloa Cartel, CJNG, CDN, and CDG, as well as alleged members of foreign terrorist organizations.

The FBI Director Kash Patel emphasized the relentless pursuit of dangerous criminals, stating that today’s announcement is yet another example of FBI’s commitment to accountability.
Administrator Terrance Cole of DEA highlighted the significance of this transfer, noting individuals tied to designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations such as Sinaloa Cartel and CJNG were among those brought to the U.S. for justice.
