SUMMARY: President Donald Trump has issued an executive order directing federal agencies to target foreign groups posing threats to U.S. citizens, specifically designating Mexican cartels, the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang, and Salvadoran MS-13 as foreign terrorist organizations. He asserts these cartels present a national security threat, engaging in violence and drug trafficking that destabilizes the Western Hemisphere and impacts the U.S. The order establishes a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, requiring relevant agencies to eliminate these organizations’ presence in the U.S. Trump acts following persistent calls from Texas Governor Greg Abbott and other Republican leaders for such measures.
