This is huge. He is the reviled Mexican drug lord who was involved in the torture and murder of Kiki Camarena, a DEA agent based in Mexico. He and 28 other drug bosses have been extradited from Mexico.
This is an unbelievable win for the US. The threat of tariffs and labeling gangs as terrorist organizations appears to be working in the war on drugs. https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/mexico-extradites-29-jailed-drug-bosses-to-u-s-including-killer-of-dea-agent-e566529e https://www.scrippsnews.com/us-news/crime/narcos-mexico-real-life-kingpin-rafael-caro-quintero-extradited-to-us |

| This seems pretty trivial in the whole scheme of things. We’ve been breached in a number of ways so this is insignificant in comparison. What are we going to do anyway, prosecute them? Whoop de doo. |

“NEW YORK -- More than 100 Drug Enforcement Administration agents packed a New York City federal courtroom Friday for the arraignment of the alleged mastermind behind the 1985 murder of Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, the first DEA agent killed on Mexican soil.” “Rafael Caro Quintero, 72, was arraigned on multiple drug and weapons offenses in Brooklyn federal court following his extradition Thursday to the U.S. from Mexico.” "Today is a historic event," Frank Tarentino, the special agent in charge of the DEA's New York division, said at a press briefing outside the courthouse following the hearing. "We have waited 40 years for this day. This day, when justice would be served. https://6abc.com/15961302/ “A DEA agent was allowed to join U.S. Marshals in escorting Caro Quintero from the courtroom, a symbolic gesture.” "After 40 years the man who murdered Enrique Camarena is finally facing justice in the United States," Assistant U.S. Attorney Saritha Komatireddy said in court. "Justice never forgets." “Attorney General Pam Bondi spoke with Camarena's son and family on Friday, according to the attorney general's office.” “The family put out a statement expressing gratitude to law enforcement agencies and the president for bringing in the suspect.” "For 14,631 days, we held on to hope — hope that this moment would come. Hope that we would live to see accountability. And now, that hope has finally turned into reality. While no amount of time can erase the pain or bring back what we lost, today marks a step toward justice," the family said in a statement.” "To those who have stood by us, supported us, celebrated Red Ribbon Week with us and carried us through the darkest moments — our extended family, friends, and even strangers who have shared in our grief — we are forever grateful," they added.” https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/drug-lord-accused-dea-agents-murder-appears-us/story?id=119302901 |

There will never be an end to the "war on drugs" as long as government agencies help fuel it.
There will never be an end to the cartels. The amount of money the average kid can make is mindboggling and a huge incentive for new members to replace jefes. The money and corruption involved is staggering. |

Doubt it. On July 25, 2024, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada-Garcia and Joaquin Guzman Lopez, also major Sinaloa drug kingpins. One of the guys just arrested was his right hand man. |

| Wait for it—Trump is going to pardon all of these drug lords. |

| Pretty sure the plan is to stir with the cartels until they start attacking US citizens in Mexico or bringing violence to the US side of the border. That will open up the path for Trump using troops or American law enforcement in a power grab. Not sure how it will all play out because the cartels play Trumps pure power game as well |

| It really isn't a big deal. Caro is expendable. He is in his 70's. The Mexican government is playing a game. |

How is this saving tax payer money? They were in jail in Mexico and now we get to pay for their free healthcare and food?

The arrest and capture was the real win, and that happened under Biden's DEA. But of course now Trump wants his name all over it. |

Playing Trump's stupid game. Performative nonsense that his cognitively impaired supporters can drool over. |

The way Trump runs things, they'll probably escape during transfer, and we'll discover that Musk fired the team that runs secure prison transfers. |
