U.S. Designates Two Ecuadorian Gangs as Foreign Terrorist Organizations
Posted on Sep 05, 2025 / USA
On September 4, 2025, the U.S. State Department took the significant step of labeling two Ecuadorian criminal groups—Los Choneros and Los Lobos—as foreign terrorist organizations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio officially announced this designation, marking an escalation in U.S. efforts against transnational criminal networks. Previously sanctioned in 2024, these groups now face heightened legal scrutiny under terrorism statutes. This move underscores U.S. intent to disrupt violent and drug-trafficking gangs operating across borders. It also signals a broader push to mobilize international cooperation against organized crime.
