By Y.M. Lowy

Rafael Caro Quintero, the infamous cartel leader wanted for his role in the killing of a DEA agent, has arrived in New York City after being transferred from Mexico. Quintero, one of the DEA’s top targets for years, was among 29 cartel members handed over to U.S. authorities.

He has been placed in a facility right near Boro Park, where he is expected to face a judge. This marks a pivotal moment for law enforcement, with officials noting the significance of his capture after decades of pursuit. Quintero’s arrival is seen as a major step in holding him accountable for his alleged crimes.
