An alleged Mexican kingpin the White House called “one of the most evil cartel leaders in the world,” who is charged with killing a Drug Enforcement Administration agent in 1985, was among dozens of suspects extradited to the U.

NEW YORK — 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.S.

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.
