Group demands terrorist label for La Línea gang

American Families Against Cartel Terrorism thinks it’s time that the La Línea gang be added to the list of designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations. La Línea , often described as the enforcement unit of the old Juarez cartel, is accused of shooting and killing nine Americans and torching the vehicles they were riding in on Nov. 4, 2019. The shooting happened on a dirt road near the Chihuahua-Sonora state line. The victims included three women and six children. Adriana Jones is the sister of one of the women. She now heads American Families Against Cartel Terrorism, or AmFACT, which recently urged the State Department to label La Línea as a terrorist organization. Jones was a guest on Border Report Live. She described the pain of losing so many loved ones, but also touted the terror designation as a powerful tool to combat cartel violence.
