Trump Wants to Target Cartel and Gang Members

“The Trump administration has been examining whether it can label some suspected cartel and gang members inside the US as ‘enemy combatants’ as a possible way to detain them more easily and limit their ability to challenge their imprisonment,” CNN reports.

“The ‘enemy combatant’ designation could also be applied to suspected narco-terrorists outside the US, the people said, as a way to potentially give the US a justification to conduct lethal strikes against them.”
