strategic measures to ensure public security
However, the mass exchange of prisoners was not part of comprehensive negotiations, since Mexico wants to avoid tangled tariffs threatened by US President Donald Trump. "These translations are not only a strategic measure to ensure public security, but also reflect the firm will to prevent these criminals from operating out of prisons and continuing to break their networks," said Mexican Security Minister Omar García Harfuch in a press conference on Wednesday.handed over prisoners and violence prevention
The 26 prisoners handed over to the US authorities included the Jalalco New Generation Kartell and the Sinaloa Kartell. They were sought by the American authorities because of their role in drug trafficking and other crimes. This happened months after 29 other alleged cartel managers were transferred to the USA in February.

President Mexicos, Claudia Sheinbaum, previously said on Wednesday that the transfers were "sovereign decisions". However, these decisions are under the pressure of the Trump administration to radically combat crime and fentanyl production.
García Harfuch also confirmed on Wednesday that a drone of the US government-non-military-flew over central Mexico, but at the request of the Mexican authorities as part of an ongoing examination.
will limit the collaboration and migration
So far, Sheinbaum has tried to show the Trump administration a greater willingness to combat the cartels than its predecessor. This was recognized by US officials. At the same time, she continued to slow down migration to the US limit to avoid the worst of the threats of tariffs from Trump. Two weeks ago, the two guides spoke and agreed to give their teams for another 90 days to negotiate and to avoid 30 % to imports from Mexico.effects on violence in Mexico
"Slowly but surely Mexico is slowly but surely fulfilling this demand for the delivery of drug bosses," said Mexican security analyst David Sauckedo. "It gives the Mexican government time." Saucedo emphasized that the Mexican government was able to prevent a violence from the cartels-a reaction that often follows the arrest of bosses-partly because Ovidio Guzmán, a son of the notorious boss Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, showed that it is possible to negotiate with US prosecutors. Ovidio Guzmán guilty of drug trafficking and other charges last month and hopes for a milder punishment in exchange for his cooperation.
However, Sauckedo warned that Mexico, in the future, could experience a further outbreak of violence.
