US Designates Juárez Cartel and Los Viagras as Terrorist Organizations
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The U.S. government has designated the Juárez Cartel and Los Viagras as foreign terrorist organizations, adding them to a list of eight Mexican criminal groups labeled as such. This designation allows U.S. authorities to take more aggressive actions against these groups and their supporters. The Juárez Cartel, one of Mexico's oldest drug trafficking organizations, controls a crucial border crossing in Ciudad Juárez, adjacent to El Paso, Texas. Meanwhile, Los Viagras, a local group from Michoacán, emerged after the expulsion of previous cartels and is known for extortion and synthetic drug production. The U.S. State Department has offered a $5 million reward for information leading to the capture of Los Viagras' leader, Nicolás Sierra Santana.
