Trump Administration Expands Terrorist Group List in Latin America, Mexico at the Forefront
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The Trump administration has designated 21 Latin American and Caribbean criminal groups as 'foreign terrorist organizations,' with Mexico leading the list with eight groups. This designation, previously reserved for groups like ISIS, aims to increase pressure on these organizations and their supporters. Key targets include the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, major traffickers of fentanyl to the U.S. The strategy has led to military operations in collaboration with countries like Ecuador and has sparked controversy, especially regarding the pardoning of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, convicted for drug trafficking.
