The Drug Cartel Terrorist Designation Act aims to authorize the U.S. government to designate certain drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. This bill allows for imposing sanctions on these designated cartels, including freezing assets and restricting travel of individuals associated with them. The main provisions include requiring the Secretary of State to submit a report assessing whether specific foreign drug cartels meet the criteria for being labeled as terrorist organizations. If approved, this designation would enable law enforcement agencies to combat these cartels more effectively by treating them as terrorist threats. The bill seeks to enhance efforts in disrupting drug trafficking operations and combating organized crime activities linked to these designated groups.
