Feinstein on Mexico
- Share via
Please allow me to correct the record. The article “Feinstein Doubts Mexico’s Resolve on Drugs” (Oct. 30) included a misstatement of something I said with regard to U.S. and Mexican drug cooperation.
It states, “She noted that no Mexican citizens sought on U.S. criminal charges have been extradited to this country.” What I said was that no Mexican citizens sought in the United States on drug-related charges have been extradited. This is important because Mexico has several dozen requests for extradition of Mexican nationals on drug-related charges but refuses to extradite any to this country to stand trial. To do so would be a significant blow to the cartels.
