US declared 8 drug cartel, criminal gangs as ‘global terrorist’ groups

According to a federal notice on the United States Wednesday, six other drug smuggling groups with Vengeuela’s Train de Argu, Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel and Latin American roots nominated as “global terrorist” organizations as “global terrorist” organizations doing. The move for the administration of President Donald Trump is the latest step in their intensity on gang members in the United States, and their efforts to remove unspecified or criminal immigrants from the country.

Trump signed an executive order on 20 January, making a process for such a designation at the White House, stating that Cartel “forms a national-protection threat beyond traditional organized offenses.”

Terrorist designation expands the ability of the US government to deal with such groups.

Mexico fears that the United States will use the designation as an excuse to intervene in its field against Cartel, as some Republican MPs are calling.

Targeted groups include the International Crime Gang MS -13, with roots in Al Salvador, as well as Mexican syndicated Gulf Cartel, Jalisco New Generation Cartel, Northeast Cartel, New Michoacan family and United Cartel.

A public notice by State Secretary Marco Rubio states that nominated organizations are “foreign individuals who have committed or tried to do … Terrorism work which United States citizens or national security, foreign policy or economy There is a threat to the security of the United States.

Back on its first day at the office last month, Trump announced a national emergency on the southern American border and vowed to deport the “millions and millions” of migrants.

He has argued that groups are fanning huge amount of dangerous illegal drugs in the United States and are involved in forced recovery, migrant smuggling and other violent crimes.

Trump made Border Security the focal point of his 2024 presidential campaign. He regularly used explosive language in branding the migrants of Venezuela as violent criminals and accused countries of vacating their jails and sending killers and others to the United States.
