Risch Praises Terrorist Designations for Latin American Criminal Groups

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jim Risch, R-Idaho, welcomed the Trump administration’s designation of eight Latin America-based criminal groups as foreign terrorists. “I support the Trump Administration's efforts to use every tool at its disposal to combat the scourge of illicit narcotics & the cartels profiting from the damage they’re doing to Idaho communities,” Risch tweeted Feb. 20, the same day the State Department announced the designations (see 2502190011).
