The Ohio House Criminal Justice Committee is considering the passage of concurrent House Resolution Bill 10 to urge the federal government to designate several of the Mexican drug cartels Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
The state is taking steps to fight back.
The point was stressed during a hearing last week with the Ohio House Criminal Justice Committee, which is considering the passage of concurrent House Resolution Bill 10 to urge the federal government to designate several of the Mexican drug cartels Foreign Terrorist Organizations. Currently, the drug cartels are classified as transnational criminal organizations. It would still have to seek passage of the full Ohio House legislature.
House Resolution 10:
RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 133rd General
Assembly of the State of Ohio, respectfully urge the federal
government to designate the drug cartels operating from Mexico
as foreign terrorist organizations, so that the government may
use appropriate means to mitigate and eventually eliminate the
operations of the cartels;
In Ohio and across the country families and communities have been ripped apart, while the major Mexican drug cartels like Sinaloa and Jalisco Nueva Generacion have been amassing billions of dollars off of the death and addiction of Americans.
