The U.S. plans to label the Cartel de los Soles, allegedly led by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, as a foreign terrorist organization. This group, not a traditional drug cartel, is being targeted as part of a larger effort to increase pressure on Maduros government. The U.S. Justice Department indicted Maduro and his associates on narcoterrorism charges. However, experts like Adam Isaacson from the Washington Office on Latin America argue that the Cartel de los Soles isnt a typical group, lacking a clear hierarchy and member identification. The U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth hinted at new options for dealing with Maduro, while Maduro denies the charges and accuses the U.S. of creating a false narrative. The U.S. Treasury Department already sanctioned the Cartel de los Soles in July, alleging drug trafficking ties to the Venezuelan government. This ongoing situation underscores the deep tensions and complex strategies between the two nations.

A special task force, backed by former President Trump and Republican Governor Bill Lee, has made thousands of arrests in Memphis, Tennessee, to combat crime. However, this surge in law enforcement is straining the local court system and jail, with officials predicting long-term issues. While homicides and aggravated assaults have risen significantly since 2018, there was a 20% drop in these numbers in the first nine months of this year. Critics argue that the task force unfairly targets minority communities, causing fear and intimidation among law-abiding residents. By October, over 300 arrests were made on administrative warrants, many related to immigration. The human cost of these actions is deeply concerning for the community.
