The US and Mexico cooperated in an operation targeting major narcotics criminals "who had substantial resources to fund new identities and frequent movements," the agency said in a statement.

"The sheer number of violent fugitives taken off the street makes this a successful operation," said Ben Reyna, director of the Marshals Service.

The operation, which was carried out between March and mid-July,dismantled narcotics organizations in Texas, Arizona, and California, the agency said.
