SEC. 1124. EXTRADITION OF VIOLENT CRIMINALS FROM 
MEXICO TO THE UNITED STATES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) Mexico is unable to extradite criminals who 
face life sentences without the possibility of parole 
because of a 2001 decision of the Mexican Supreme 
Court.
349 
HR 2601 PCS 
(2) As a result of this ruling, Mexico is unable 
to extradite to the United States numerous suspects 
wanted for violent crimes committed in the United 
States unless the United States assures Mexico that 
these criminals will not face life imprisonment with-
out the possibility of parole. 
(3) The attorneys general from all 50 States 
have asked the Government of the United States to 
continue to address this extradition issue with the 
Government of Mexico. 
(4) The Government of the United States and 
the Government of Mexico have experienced positive 
cooperation on numerous matters relevant to their 
bilateral relationship, including increased coopera-
tion on extraditions. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that the Government of the United States should 
encourage the Government of Mexico to continue to work 
closely with the Mexican Supreme Court to urge the Court 
to re-visit its October 2001 ruling so that the possibility 
of life imprisonment without parole will not have an effect 
on the timely extradition of criminal suspects from Mexico 
to the United States.
