It's Official: Drug Cartels ARE NOW DECLARED "Foreign Terrorist Organizations"

The United States on Wednesday designated Tren de Aragua, the Sinaloa cartel and other drug cartels as global terrorist organizations, according to a Federal Register notice.

The U.S. State Department notice said the groups pose a risk to U.S. national security, foreign policy and economic interests.

This opens the door for the United States to go after the cartels with EVERY resource the government has, including military.

The above declaration will PUBLISH at about midnight, eastern U.S. Time tonight, and will become effective the moment they publish.

It was just yesterday that the US military had MQ-9 "Reaper" drones flying over Mexican territory.   It is __possible__ that all hell will break lose against them, the very moment this document publishes.

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said Wednesday that surveillance drone flights by the U.S. government over Mexico are occurring in collaboration with and at the request of her government.
