The U.S. has designated 8 drug and human trafficking cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.

Mexican drug and human trafficking cartels operate in all 50 states. No community is untouched by their networks.

Nearly all the fentanyl in the U.S. comes from Mexico and is produced by cartels. In 2024 alone, U.S. law enforcement seized over 31,000 pounds of fentanyl at the southwest border, more than enough to kill the entire U.S. population.

In 2024, more than 50,000 Americans died from drug overdoses from synthetic opioids like fentanyl.
