## Resource

Two major Mexican cartels, the Juárez Cartel and Los Viagras, have been slapped with a new U.S. foreign terrorist designation — joining heavyweights like Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation. The move, revived from the Trump era, aims to give U.S. authorities more power to disrupt these groups and their networks, especially when they threaten American citizens or national security. The Juárez Cartel, a decades-long border powerhouse in Texas, now faces heightened scrutiny, while Los Viagras — a newer gang from Michoacán led by fugitive Nicolás Sierra Santana — is being hunted with a $5 million reward. Both groups are deeply entrenched in drug trafficking, extortion, and synthetic drug production, making them dangerous and increasingly visible targets for U.S. law enforcement.
