Bill overview
This bill directs the Secretary of State to formally designate four major Mexican drug cartels – the Gulf Cartel, the Cartel Del Noreste, the Cartel de Sinaloa, and the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion – as foreign terrorist organizations. It also requires the State Department to produce a report detailing these cartels and any others identified, justifying their designation based on specific criteria. Furthermore, the bill mandates that Congress receive this report and allows for the potential designation of additional cartels or factions that meet the established criteria. Importantly, the bill clarifies that this designation will not affect asylum eligibility for aliens.
