State Department says it designated foreign extremist groups and a cartel tied to drug threats

Unidentified Speaker said the State Department "has continued our efforts to designate, target, and dismantle foreign terrorist organizations," and cited "designations of 4 Antifa groups across Germany, Italy, and Greece." The presenter also said "These groups often have the stated goal of overthrowing The United States and have waged a campaign of terror to undermine Western civilization and our nation."

The segment further reported the designation of "Cartel de Los Olas," calling it a cartel "intent on poisoning Americans," and said the president and the secretary have pledged to combat narcoterrorists, stop the flow of deadly drugs into the United States, and secure the border. The segment did not identify legal authorities or provide evidence supporting the assertion that the Antifa groups or the cartel meet statutory criteria for terrorist designations.

The presentation made explicit allegations but offered no follow-up documentation, such as designation orders, supporting reports, or enforcement plans. Reporters should seek the underlying designation documents and any supporting intelligence or investigative materials to evaluate the claims.
