The international extradition procedure was part of a joint effort between Mexico's Attorney General's Office and U.S. authorities.
The Mexican fugitives were turned over to Mexican authorities at the Good Neighbor International Bridge that connects El Paso, Texas with Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua.
Mexican Federal Police officers turned over the U.S. fugitives to U.S. Marshals and FBI agents at the Mexico City International Airport.
