Mexico is expelling 26 high-ranking cartel figures to the United States in the latest major deal with the President Donald Trump ’s administration, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office and Security ministry confirmed the transfers, which were carried out after a promise from the U.S. Justice Department that U.S. officials would not seek the death penalty in any of the cases.
