Family of California DEA agent sues Mexican drug cartel under new terrorist designation
Briefly

The family of DEA Agent Enrique Kiki Camarena, kidnapped and murdered in 1985, has filed an anti-terrorism lawsuit in San Diego against Mexican drug traffickers after President Trump classified the Sinaloa cartel as a terrorist organization. This lawsuit, focusing on accountability for Camarena's death, was enabled by recent U.S. designations of such organizations. Key figures, including drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero, are named defendants in the suit. The family's pursuit of justice underscores their long struggle with the consequences of drug-related violence impacting their lives.
We are so grateful that President Trump designated the cartels as terrorist organizations, which finally allows my family and me to seek justice.
It has been 40 years since these men and their deadly criminal enterprise ended my husband's life, which he dedicated to stopping traffickers.
