The designation is expected to be applied to eight groups, said two of the officials, though the list could change before a public announcement. The officials who spoke for this article did so on the condition of anonymity to talk about an action that has not been made public yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The executive order called for the designations, saying the cartels \u201cconstitute a national-security threat beyond that posed by traditional organized crime\u201d and that the United States would \u201censure the total elimination\u201d of the groups.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump gave Secretary of State Marco Rubio two weeks to make the designations in consultation with several other cabinet members. The criminal groups and their members could be labeled foreign terrorist organizations or specially designated global terrorists, according to the order. The designations mean the U.S. government can impose broad economic sanctions on the groups and on people or entities linked to them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The executive order referred in general to cartels in Mexico. It also specifically named Tren de Aragua, a group with roots in Venezuela, and Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, a gang founded by Salvadoran immigrants in the United States that plays a lesser role in the transnational drug trade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Besides those two groups, the State Department plans to designate the Clan del Golfo, based in Colombia, and five others based in Mexico. The Mexican organizations that will be designated are the Sinaloa cartel, Jalisco New Generation cartel, the Northeast cartel, the Michoac\u00e1n family and the United cartels, according to U.S. officials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The State Department has informed several congressional committees of the upcoming designations, which could be announced by the White House as early as this week. The department did not reply to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Clan del Golfo, or Gulf Clan, has worked for over two decades with Mexican cartels, supplying cocaine for them to smuggle into the United States. After the price of cocaine plunged in 2017, the Colombian cartel moved aggressively into migrant smuggling to make up its financial losses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A U.S. official with knowledge of the designation list said that the Gulf Clan was likely being added for its involvement in migrant trafficking. The group largely controls the Dari\u00e9n Gap, the narrow land bridge that connects South and North America.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Migrants from around the world \u2014 from China to Sudan to Venezuela \u2014 often fly to more permissible South American countries before heading to the Dari\u00e9n Gap on their journeys north to the United States. Many of those migrants pay thousands of dollars to operatives working for the Gulf Clan, as a protection fee for traversing the land bridge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The designation list was supposed to be completed last week, but may have been delayed because the State Department expanded it from the groups outlined in the executive order last month, according to a person familiar with the matter. Whether or not to include organized crime groups involved in migrant trafficking was discussed at length, partly causing the delay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Mexican cartels included on the list work closely with the Gulf Clan to smuggle migrants across Latin America into the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Rubio completed his first trip as secretary of state this month, visiting five countries in Latin America. He spoke with his counterparts about migration and security issues, though he did not visit Mexico.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In an interview with the podcast host Megyn Kelly on Jan. 30, Mr. Rubio talked about the need to dismantle Mexican drug cartels, saying that \u201cthere are parts of Mexico, many parts of Mexico, in which the government doesn\u2019t control those areas.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey\u2019re controlled by drug cartels,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey are the most powerful force on the ground, and they are plowing into the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey\u2019re facilitating illegal migration, but they are also bringing in fentanyl and deadly drugs to our country,\u201d he added. \u201cThat\u2019s a national security threat, and that needs to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a call with his counterpart in Argentina on Monday, Mr. Rubio had discussed \u201cshared security priorities in the region, including combating transnational organizations,\u201d the State Department said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mexican officials have been in drawn-out negotiations with the Trump administration to stave off the terror designation for the cartels and organized crime groups that operate in their country, according to people familiar with the talks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Of the eight groups designated, five are Mexican. The Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels are the country\u2019s largest and have cornered much of the fentanyl market for the United States, producing the synthetic opioid in Mexico before smuggling it north. A growing amount of fentanyl is being used by Mexican citizens, leading to rising addiction rates in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The designation list includes a smaller cartel, Northeast, and two Mexican groups that American officials say are more akin to organized criminal organizations: the Michoac\u00e1n Family and United cartels. Those groups tend to act as on-the-ground muscle for Mexico\u2019s cartels to help them spread their territorial control.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">An organized crime group is considered a cartel only if it controls enough of the drug trade to allow it to determine the price of any given narcotic in places like New York or London.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The net profits from the international operations of Mexico\u2019s cartels could reach up to $20 billion annually, nearly 2 percent of Mexico\u2019s gross domestic product, according to an American official.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
