US deports former cartel kingpin to Mexico
US immigration police deported a former drug cartel kingpin to Mexico, where he was wanted on charges related to organized crime and drug trafficking, authorities said on Friday.
The Mexican drug kingpin known as ``Tony Tormenta,'' a top leader of the powerful Gulf cartel, was killed Friday in a ferocious gun battle with military forces in the northern border state that had long been his tightly controlled home turf.
