00:00Twenty-six of Mexico's most dangerous cartel bosses are now in U.S. custody.
00:04And it happened in one massive, secretive operation.
00:08These aren't low-level criminals.
00:09We're talking high-ranking members of the Chalisco New Generation cartel and other notorious groups.
00:15The deal?
00:16Mexico agreed to the transfers only after the U.S. promised not to seek the death penalty.
00:22It's the second time since Trump took office that Mexico has handed over major cartel figures.
00:27Among them, Abigail Gonzalez-Valencia, a top ally of C.J. Eng, and Roberto Salazar, accused in the killing of a Los Angeles County deputy.
00:36This comes just weeks after Trump delayed a 30% tariff on Mexico for 90 days.
00:42And days after reports he secretly authorized the U.S. military to target cartels abroad.
00:47Mexico's president insists there will be no invasion, but the crackdown is clearly intensifying.
00:52For Washington, it's a bold move to cut off the flow of fentanyl and meth into the U.S.
00:57For the cartels, it's a sign their safe havens are shrinking fast.
