The meeting focused on the worsening immigration crisis at the U.S. southern border.<\/p>\n<p>A Mexican court ordered Caro Quintero released from prison over the objections of the U.S. in 2013 after ruling that the drug kingpin had been improperly tried in a federal court for state crimes. Caro Quintero quickly disappeared after authorities released him on administrative grounds in a move widely believed to be driven by corruption. A Mexican judge issued a warrant for his arrest less than a week later, but Caro Quintero was already underground.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. condemned the move at the time, and pressed Mexico for Caro Quintero\u2019s recapture and extradition to the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are deeply concerned by the release of Rafael Caro Quintero from prison in Mexico,\u201d Obama White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2013\/aug\/11\/mexico-frees-drugs-rafael-caro-quintero\">said<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Treasury said in 2016 after Caro Quintero\u2019s release that it believed the kingpin was back directing the trafficking of drugs into the U.S. Officials believed that even when he was in imprisoned in Mexico, Caro Quintero was still involved in directing his drug-running operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authorities arrested Mexican drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero of the infamous Sinaloa Cartel on Friday.
