🇺🇸 Terror Labels Spread South

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said governments across Latin America and the Caribbean have begun designating crime groups as terrorists at President Trump’s request. The New York Times reports those moves could help provide a public rationale for military strikes.

That signals a regional hardening on paper, but labels alone do not dismantle cartel logistics, money pipelines, or state corruption. If this becomes mostly legal framing for force without parallel action against cross-border criminal infrastructure, it risks becoming enforcement theater.
