Trump's terrorism designation strategy is reshaping the fight against cartels
The Trump administration's move to designate major drug cartels and criminal gangs as Foreign Terrorist Organizations has opened the door to prosecuting them under terrorism statutes and authorizing military action against trafficking networks. The Jalisco New Generation Cartel has faced terrorism charges under the strategy, with at least two dozen prosecutions ending in convictions, and the approach has also been tied to military operations including the January capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and strikes on drug-smuggling boats.
