Mexican Judge Halts Extradition of CJNG Leader 'El Jardinero' to US

A Mexican court has suspended the transfer of CJNG leader 'El Jardinero' to the United States pending resolution of an amparo appeal against his extradition. This delays a high-profile cartel prosecution and reflects ongoing legal friction in US-Mexico cooperation on organized crime. The outcome of the amparo trial will determine whether extradition proceeds.
