MEXICO CITY—The U.S. government deported drug lord Osiel Cardenas on Monday, transferring custody of the ex-Gulf Cartel chief known for hyper-violent tactics to Mexican authorities at the border city of Tijuana.
Cardenas, 57, was freed in August after serving more than two decades behind bars in maximum security prisons in the United States, and since then has been held by U.S. immigration officials.
