Trump anuncia su intención de clasificar a los carteles mexicanos como 'organizaciones terroristas'

El presidente electo de EE. UU., Donald Trump, sumó el domingo otro punto a su lista de tareas para su primer día en la Oficina Oval, tras su toma de posesión el 20 de enero. "Todos los miembros de pandillas extranjeras serán expulsados y designaré de inmediato a los [carteles de] drogas como organizaciones terroristas extranjeras. Lo haré de forma inmediata", afirmó durante un foro de la organización sin fines de lucro ultra-conservadora Turning Point en Phoenix, Arizona, dedicada a difundir los valores de MAGA en las universidades y colegios estadounidenses.

Trump said his administration will unleash the full power of federal law enforcement — ICE, Border Patrol, the Drug Enforcement Administration [DEA], the intelligence community — and financial sanctions to drive out the foreign drug gangs. Every cartel “operating on American soil will be dismantled, deported and destroyed,” Trump said in a speech cheered by hundreds of his supporters.

This is not the first time that the president-elect has painted an apocalyptic picture that does not exactly match reality in order to announce a tough line against Mexican drug traffickers and also against the authorities of the neighboring country. In this case, Trump was talking about the case of Aurora, Colorado, which has become an example for Trump of everything that he feels has gone wrong in the United States in terms of security under the presidency of Joe Biden. According to this exaggerated story, Aurora is under the control of the Venezuelan criminal gang Tren de Aragua.
