Drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero has long been wanted by the DEA for killing of agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena in 1985.

Cartel leader Rafael Caro Quintero​, wanted for the notorious killing of a U.S. DEA agent in Mexico, faces arraignment in NYC.

Mexico has extradited 29 alleged criminals to the United States, among them the so-called “narco of narcos” Rafael Caro Quintero, many accused of murder and several alleged members of cartels now designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.

Mexico has sent Quintero and 28 other cartel figures to the U.S. as the Trump Administration turns up the pressure on drug trafficking organizations.

Cartel leaders Rafael Caro Quintero and Vicente Carrillo Fuentes are set to be arraigned in a U.S. federal court in New York City on Friday, following their surprise transfer from Mexico. The pair were among 29 Mexican prisoners sent Thursday to eight cities across the U.

Trump designated drug cartels terrorist organizations and Mexico extradited 29 alleged members, one a suspect in a notorious DEA killing in 1985.

The Mexican drug kingpin who was brought to the United States on Thursday is accused in the 1985 kidnapping, torture and murder of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena.

"Caro Quintero, a cartel kingpin who unleashed violence, destruction, and death across the United States and Mexico, has spent four decades atop DEA's most wanted fugitives list, and today we can proudly say he has arrived in the United States where justice will be served," DEA Acting Administrator Derek S. Maltz said in a press release.
