SummaryCRS Summary

This resolution condemns the Sinaloa Cartel, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, and other similarly situated Mexican drug cartels.

(A designation as a foreign terrorist organization triggers various penalties on the organization's members, such as asset freezes and immigration restrictions.)
