Chip Roy to introduce legislation classifying drug cartels as terrorist organizations

Republican Rep. Chip Roy is set to introduce legislation that would designate drug cartels as terrorist organizations.

“I’ve spent my time talking to people who actually know what’s happening at the border, and I’ve been meeting with former DPS agents, people engage with and rooting out cartels and the violence, and all they are telling me is that cartels are becoming increasingly violent. All of the data shows it. All of the actions show it. We have people in America being shuttled around by cartel-paid American citizens to put them in human trafficking, sex trafficking,” Roy said.
