Trump administration is preparing to designate a series of Mexican drug cartels and two from Central and South America as foreign terrorist organizations. The move comes as Mexico continues to experience unprecedented levels of violence, including the widespread use of landmines and improvised explosive devices, despite empty government claims that crime has decreased and impunity has ended.
Document reviewed by Breitbart revealed that the U.S. State Department is expected to designate the Sinaloa Cartel, Cartel Jalisco New Generation, The Gulf Cartel, The Cartel Del Noreste faction of Los Zetas (Northeast Cartel), Carteles Unidos, and Familia Michoacana as foreign terrorist organizations on February 19.
Designation would include the Central American gang Mara Salvatrucha and the South American Tren De Aragua.
Move follows an executive order on January 20 by U.S. President Donald Trump that calls for designating cartels as terrorist organizations and for their complete eradication.
The news was first reported by the New York Times, which claimed that the list included the Colombian criminal organization Clan Del Golfo. However, according to Breitbart Texas Director Brandon Darby, who had access to various FBI documents regarding the upcoming order, the list meant the Gulf Cartel.
Breitbart Texas and Breitbart News Foundation have reported extensively on the Gulf Cartel, the reign of terror that they have unleashed on northern Mexico and the protection that they receive from the Tamaulipas government as well as Mexico’s federal government.
In addition to mass killings, widespread kidnapping, and torture, each of the six cartels has also been linked to the indiscriminate use of explosives and some of them to the use of land mines to protect their territories.
All of those organizations have a long history of receiving government protection, as well as legal protection, with Mexican judges routinely releasing captured cartel figures, Breitbart Texas reported.

Democrats allowed the cartels to sell American citizenship under Biden’s rule - what was that about?
We should have used foreign intel to find the ring leaders and then surrounded their homes with Abrams tanks.
Daisy-cutter their compounds.
Why didn’t Brandon think of this?
I will suggest that simultaneous drone attacks with rockets that destroy not only the compound structures but kill all present including women and children is the way to proceed.
The mission can be accomplished with precision, ease and low cost while risking no American lives. By making the secres simultaneous attack, secrecy and shock and awe will be the result
The cartels will just be ...... gone.
“Democrats allowed the cartels to sell American citizenship under Biden’s rule - what was that about?”
The American born are spoiled and oblivious to how valuable US citizenship and legal green card status is. To all third worlders. US citizenship is worth at least $300,000. I saw this 17 years ago. I will look for an update.
Perplexity AI says>>>
“Therefore, a more comprehensive estimate of the value of U.S. citizenship for an Indian immigrant in terms of future earnings and benefits over a lifetime could be around $1,030,000.”
Do you grasp the irony of your post?
smh
That’s some great sarcasm.
Better, ask the OP how his logic of demonizing Russia in its backyard with ukeland applies to the US now doing the nearly the same with mehico.
My preference is the strategy used in Tom Clancy's "Clear and Present Danger", just send in the flyboys with bombs, but in todays world, drones would work.

How do you imagine all those Democrats became millionaires on a government paycheck?

Update: Mexican Narco-Terrorist Militant from Sinaloa declares they are ready to fight the US!!
They DID all become millionaires on ‘public servant’ pay...some multimillionaires. Does make a person wonder.
Interesting. And for people with low skills?
Fewer than one percent of ‘migrants’ pick crops - the majority move to large democrat cities, go on welfare and work ‘under the table’ cutting wages for Americans.
Cartels cleaned up selling American citizenship all the way around... with highest prices given to the Chinese averaging over $30,000 per Chinese illegal. I’m sure there were kickbacks - but to who?
I mean raze you.
The cartels are making a mistake taking on a nation state with a penchant for killing its enemies all over the world.
I will feel no pity for the cartels and their members when they start dying by the hundreds and lose everything.
In addition, the designation of these cartels as terrorist organizations allows the Treasury Department to hit any banks these good fellas use, as well as pretty much anyone who does business with them.
