Jan. 20 (UPI) -- Mexican officials have sent another 37 alleged drug cartel members to the United States amid pressure to do so from President Donald Trump.
Mexican Security Minister Omar Garcia Harfuch announced the transfer of detainees Tuesday.
"This morning, the [Security Cabinet of Mexico] transferred 37 criminal organization operators to the United States who posed a real threat to the country's security," Garcia said in a translated post on X.
"The action was carried out in accordance with the National Security Law and under bilateral cooperation mechanisms, with full respect for national sovereignty," he continued.
