Drug Cartel Terrorist Designation Act

This bill requires the Secretary of State to designate four specific Mexican drug cartels - Reynosa/Los Metros faction of the Gulf Cartel, Cartel Del Noreste faction of Los Zetas, Jalisco New Generation Cartel, and Sinaloa Cartel - as foreign terrorist organizations under existing immigration law. It mandates a 30-day report to Congress detailing the justification for each designation and any additional cartels meeting the criteria. The report must be unclassified (with optional classified annex), distributed electronically, and not printed. This policy change directly affects the listed cartels by subjecting them to legal restrictions tied to terrorist organization status under U.S. law. The bill does not create new penalties but implements a formal designation process based on existing criteria.
