Drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero is one of 29 cartel suspects sent by Mexico to the United States to face charges.

The Justice Department confirmed Thursday night that Mexico had sent drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero, who is wanted for the infamous 1985 murder of a U.S. DEA agent, to the United States along with 28 other inmates the U.S. government had requested.

“The defendants taken into U.S. custody today include leaders and managers of drug cartels recently designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists,” the Justice Department stated in a statement. It stated that they are being charged with a number of offenses, including money laundering, illegal firearm use, murder, drug trafficking, and racketeering.

In a statement, the Mexican government stated that “they were wanted for their links to criminal organizations for drug trafficking, among other crimes.” The transfers, according to Mexico, were made “under institutional protocols with due respect for their fundamental rights.”

Mexicans Miguel Treviño Morales and his brother Omar Treviño Morales, also known as Z-40 and Z-42, were also listed as leaders of the Los Zetas cartel.

The removal of the drug lords from Mexico coincided with a visit to Washington by Mexico’s Foreign Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente and other top economic and military officials. The meeting was the latest in ongoing negotiations with the U.S. over trade and security relations, which have radically shifted since President Trump took office.

“As President Trump has made clear, cartels are terrorist groups, and this Department of Justice is devoted to destroying cartels and transnational gangs,”Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement.

DEA Acting Administrator Derek S. Maltz described Caro Quintero as “a cartel kingpin who unleashed violence, destruction, and death across the United States and Mexico” and called his transfer “extremely personal for the men and women of DEA” due to Caro Quintero’s role in the brutal 1985 kidnapping and killing of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena.
