The Attorney General's Office (FGR) confirmed that Edgar Herrera Pardo, also known as El Caiman (The Alligator) or Cabo 8, one of the leaders of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), has been extradited to the United States.
Herrera Pardo is believed to be closely associated with Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias El Mencho, the top leader of the CJNG.
Investigators say that Herrera was the main operator of the criminal group in Tijuana, Baja California, and responsible for importing large quantities of methamphetamine and heroin from Mexico into the United States.
He is facing drug trafficking charges in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California in San Diego.
Edgar Herrera underwent the extradition procedure at a court based in the Federal Center for Social Readaptation Number 17 ("CPS Michoacan"
, where he was also imprisoned for drug trafficking.
This morning, he was handed over to the designated US agents for his final transfer at the Toluca International Airport in the State of Mexico.
Profile
According to prosecutors, Edgar Herrera-Pardo was responsible for overseeing a faction of enforcers known as Los Cabos, whose mission was to control the Baja California corridor on behalf of the CJNG.
Los Cabos has seen a significant rise in influence in recent years and has been engaged in a fierce territorial battle with the Sinaloa Cartel over the lucrative smuggling route between Tijuana and San Diego border.

If you ride the endless conveyor belt of social media long enough. Eventually you come across videos that just baffle your mind. Videos that’ll make you cringe and wonder just what exactly is going on in the underworld. This here is one of those videos, which has for some time been circulating online.
It’s unknown where inside Mexico this video was recorded. And so far no one state has felt brave enough to lay claim to it. And why should they? It’s not something most men would want to openly brag about. Or care to remember while reminiscing about their pasts. Of course not all men do these things.
But there are those who do. Those who try to play it off as nothing more than horseplay. I guess when you’re bored this is just one of those ways some men choose to entertain themselves. To each his own.
