On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order designating Mexican drug cartels and other foreign terrorist groups as foreign terrorist organizations. This action aims to expedite the removal of members of groups like Tren de Aragua, a transnational criminal organization from Venezuela, and MS-13. The designation could lead to harsher financial penalties and legal ramifications in the US against those involved, but it could also strain the relationship between the US and Mexico. This event took place on 01/20/2025 at the following location: Washington DC, United States.
