Let the annihilation begin!

Homan further indicated that President Donald Trump is prepared to both "rain hell down" on the cartels and "wipe them off the face of the earth."

According to the New York Times, the State Department is planning to designate over six cartels and criminal groups with links to Latin America as foreign terrorist organizations.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum threatened to expand her lawsuit against American gun manufacturers and vendors if the State Department went through with the designations, reported CBS News.

Sheinbaum noted specifically Mexo would introduce another allegation accusing gunmakers of "complicity" with terrorist organizations.

Blaze News previously reported that the New York Times complained that terrorist designations for the cartels culpable for the deaths of over 200 Americans a day might lead to American companies having to wean off Mexican labor; a loss to the Mexican economy in the form of reduced remittances; and unilateral American military strikes on terrorists and terrorist facilities.

Rachel Levinson-Waldman, the managing director of the Brennan Center's liberty and national security program, alternatively suggested that the designations were "counterproductive" because they might negatively impact asylum seekers who give money to the cartels, NGOs that service illegal alien communities, and American drug addicts and pushers.
