Trump’s War on Cartels Just Broke Mexico
26 Leaders Expelled from Sinaloa & CJNG Comman - and it is only the 1st week
Katarina discusses Mexico’s transfer of 26 cartel members to the United States in a high-stakes deal with the Trump administration.
The move, which included figures from the Sinaloa Cartel, CJNG, and Knights Templar, was celebrated as a win against organized crime, but also raised questions about political pressure, trade threats, and Mexico’s sovereignty.
Katarina unpacks the motivations behind the deal, the implications for U.S.-Mexico relations, and what this unprecedented wave of extraditions reveals about the evolving fight against the cartels.
