Mexican senator accuses Sheinbaum of shielding ‘narco-politicians’ after US cartel indictment

Mexican Sen. Lilly Téllez accused President Claudia Sheinbaum’s government of protecting what she called "narco-politicians" after New York prosecutors unsealed indictments accusing 10 current and former Mexican officials of working with the Sinaloa Cartel to protect fentanyl trafficking operations.

Téllez claimed Sunday on "Fox & Friends Weekend" that Sheinbaum is refusing to hand over indicted officials to the U.S. because she fears it could lead to the discovery of more alleged corruption.
