Federal and state law enforcement officials fear that a recent Mexico Supreme Court ruling may hamper prosecution of more than 100 U.S. fugitives now in Mexico.Mexico's top court ruled Oct. 4 that Mexican residents cannot be extradited if they are charged with crimes in other countries and could receive life sentences.
