DEA threat report identifies enemies, targets of Trump’s new drug war
Sinaloa, Jalisco New Generation cartels disclosed as main traffickers of deadly fentanyl
By Bill Gertz - The Washington Times - Friday, October 3, 2025
Criminal cartels in Mexico and gangs in Venezuela posing a major narcotics trafficking and security threat to the United States are being attacked as narco-terrorists under the Trump administration’s new military-backed war on drugs, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration’s latest counterdrug threat assessment.
The DEA’s 2025 National Drug Threat Assessment lists details on six Latin drug cartels with the two criminal gangs, Tren de Aragua and MS-13, as foreign terrorists. The largest drug-runners were identified as the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
The groups threaten Americans’ safety, U.S. national interests, and the safety and stability of the Western Hemisphere, the report says.
“Mexican cartels’ production, trafficking, and distribution of powerful illicit synthetic drugs, chiefly fentanyl and methamphetamine, represent a dire threat to public health, the rule of law, and national security in the United States,” the report, published in May, concluded.
President Trump this week declared the United States is now at war with drug cartels, designating them enemy combatants and setting the stage for additional military strikes
U.S. military units conducted a fourth missile strike Friday on a boat carrying drugs from Venezuela to the United States with enough narcotics to kill up to 50,000 people, Mr. Trump said in posting a video of the attack on Truth Social.
According to the DEA, violent cartels and gangs are driving tens of thousands of drug overdose deaths of Americans yearly, mainly through deadly synthetic opioids like fentanyl.
Drug overdose deaths declined 25% in the period from October 2023 to October 2024. A total of 112,910 people died from overdoses in the 12-month period ending October 2023 and 84,076 died between that month and October 2024, the report said.
