Trump Considers Designating Cartels as Terrorists, Experts Warn of Immigration Consequences

Credited from: NEWSWEEK

  • The Trump administration is reportedly revisiting the idea of classifying **Mexican drug cartels** as **terrorist organizations** to address immigration issues.
  • Experts caution this could backfire by **increasing asylum claims**, as individuals fleeing cartel violence could assert a political basis for their claims.
  • Making the designation would allow the U.S. to use military force against cartels, aligning them with groups like **the Taliban** and **Hamas**.
  • Current bipartisan efforts exist to combat cartel activities, but Republican proposals for **Foreign Terrorist Organization** status have failed to progress in Congress.
  • Experts warn that this labeling could complicate asylum processes by categorizing those who paid cartels for passage as providing **material support** to a terrorist group.
