- Amid tariff negotiations, officials stressed the transfer wasn't linked to threatened 30% tariffs, at the Trump administration's request, to prevent illicit networks in prisons.
- The U.S. Justice Department pledged not to seek the death penalty for the 55 individuals involved, amid charges of drug trafficking and other crimes, following a February transfer of cartel leaders.
