Bottom Line Up Front. The Juárez Cartel is based in Ciudad Juárez across from El Paso, Texas. The State Department designated it a Foreign Terrorist Organization on July 16, 2026, together with Los Viagras, the first Mexican cartel designations since the February 2025 slate. Its La Línea faction is largely believed responsible for the 2019 killing of nine U.S. citizens, including six children, from a settlement in Sonora, per AP reporting. Secretary Rubio said the administration is "disrupting the revenue streams funding violent narco-terrorists."
