US Ambassador to Mexico Ronald Johnson stated that 313 individuals wanted by Mexican authorities have been transferred during Donald Trump's administration.
Johnson posted on his X account that US authorities have handed over these criminals to Mexico to face charges. He mentioned a recent case of a Mexican citizen captured by Border Patrol in the Rio Grande Valley for child prostitution and sexual assault.
The diplomat highlighted cooperation between the Trump and President Claudia Sheinbaum governments. He did not specify the exact period covered by the figure of 313 transfers.
In May, the Mexican government had indicated that the Trump administration refused to transfer some requested criminals. According to data from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, between January 2018 and May 13, 269 extraditions were requested, none achieved and 36 denied.
