President Trump has said efforts to designate Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) are moving ahead – prompting both praise and criticism. “The Mexican Cartels certainly earned a designation of a Foreign Terrorist Organization which is authorized in the Immigration and Naturalization act. “The FTO designation is an important step in a positive direction for US national security.

It remains to be seen precisely which cartels will receive the FTO label, as there are dozens of cartels known to be operating across Mexico.
