The recent arrest of Juan Garcia Abrego is a step in the right direction. but overall Mexicos efforts have simply not been enough. The United States currently has 165 extradition requests pending with Mexico. 56 of those involving Mexican nationals. The United States has had an extradition treaty with Mexico since 1978. yet Mexico has not allowed the extradition of a single Mexican national to the United States for prosecution as any close ally would. Juan Garcia Abrego was not extradited. He was deported as a U.S. citizen. He held dual citizenship. The drug cartels still operate in Mexico with impunity.
