Juárez Cartel Designated as Terrorist Organization by U.S. Treasury

The U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has officially reclassified the Juárez Cartel as a transnational terrorist group on its Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list. This significant change highlights the cartel's role as a criminal organization and reflects the increased risks associated with secondary sanctions. Previously, the SDN list provided alternative names and locations for the cartel but did not categorize it as a terrorist entity. Being listed means that any assets held by the cartel in the U.S. will be blocked, and American citizens are prohibited from engaging in any transactions with them. This move also extends to the Los Viagras Cartel, which has received a similar designation.
