Summary

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized Donald Trump’s executive order to label drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, emphasizing Mexico’s sovereignty and rejecting U.S. military intervention.

Trump’s order, part of broader measures on border security, could allow asset seizures and sanctions against cartels but faces skepticism for its effectiveness.

Experts warn it may complicate asylum claims, as migrants paying cartels for passage could face disqualification.

Critics see the move as political posturing, while some victims’ families hope the designation will bring justice and highlight Mexico’s cartel violence.

        Special Freedom Operation.

        I mean it only makes sense to own the land with shores on the gulf of America.
