In this The Epoch Times article, Timothy Frudd reports the U.S. State Department designated two more Mexican cartels—the Juárez Cartel and Los Viagras—as foreign terrorist organizations.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the designations to deny the cartels access to U.S. financial systems, block property, and disrupt funding for narco-terrorism.
- The Juárez Cartel was responsible for the 2019 massacre of nine U.S. citizens in Sonora, Mexico.
- Los Viagras operates in Michoacán; its leader Nicolás Sierra Santana faces drug trafficking charges and a $5 million reward.
- This brings the total designated Mexican cartels to eight, including Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation.
- The Trump administration continues aggressive actions against cartels through sanctions, military strikes on trafficking vessels, and broader narco-terrorist crackdowns.
- The designations support efforts to secure the border and keep fentanyl off U.S. streets.
