The Federalist: If Drug Cartels Are Terrorist Orgs, Mexico Is Their State Sponsor
The State Department has designated eight Mexican drug cartels, including the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation Cartels, as terrorist organizations. This classification implicates the Mexican government, particularly the ruling MORENA coalition, in a symbiotic relationship with these cartels, undermining U.S. efforts to combat drug trafficking.
The intertwining of cartels with state functions complicates potential U.S. military action against them. Effective dismantling of these organizations will require a multifaceted approach, recognizing that the Mexican government may not be a reliable partner in the fight against drug-related violence and crime.
