A man wanted in connection with the 2014 kidnappings of 43 college students in Southern Mexico was extradited to Mexico after he was arrested in Santa Teresa.

Alejandro Tenescalco-Mejia, 41, was turned over to Mexican authorities Wednesday at the international boundary at the Santa Teresa Port of Entry, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said.

Tenescalco-Mejia, of Iguala, Guerrero, Mexico, allegedly illegally entered the U.S. on Dec. 14 by climbing over the border wall near Santa Teresa.

He was then arrested by immigration officials and turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Enforcement and Removal Operations officers.

He remained detained at the El Paso Processing Center until his removal on Wednesday, officials said.

Tenescalco-Mejia was wanted in connection with the Sept. 26, 2014, disappearance and abduction of 43 college students in Southern Mexico. The students - all men from a rural teachers' college in Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, Mexico - went missing when they were traveling on a bus, officials said.

According to Mexican court documents, Tenescalco-Mejia is one of several suspects wanted in the case.

"ERO made good on its promise to protect the American people by removing a suspected violent criminal back to his home country," Mary De Anda, field office director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Enforcement and Removal Operations in El Paso, said in a statement. "The ongoing cooperation between ICE and our Mexican counterparts resulted in holding another fugitive accountable for his actions, highlighting the critical public safety role ERO plays in the community."

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations arrested 46,396 noncitizens with criminal histories in the 2022 fiscal year.

The people arrested had a total of 198,498 associated charges and convictions, officials said. The charges and convictions included 21,531 assault offenses; 8,164 sex and sexual assault offenses; 5,554 weapons offenses; 1,501 homicide-related offenses; and 1,114 kidnapping offenses.

Law enforcement sources in Mexico revealed to Breitbart Texas that Tenescalco was a police officer in the town of Iguala, Guerrero, and is considered one of the top-level suspects in connection with the mass killing. The sources claim that Tenescalco was in contact with the top cartel leaders and the individuals carrying out the actual murders. The source said Mexico’s government was offering a cash reward of $10 million pesos ($500,000 USD).

As Breitbart Texas reported, in 2014, a group of education students had stolen various buses to make their way to a protest. A group of police officers stopped the students and turned them over to cartel gunmen who ultimately killed them and disposed of their bodies. The case was reportedly covered up by Mexico’s government — an issue that has become a hot political topic. Most recently, authorities arrested a former Mexican Attorney General in connection with his role in the coverup.
