Introduction

The United States government is working hard to stop drug groups. They caught many leaders and some politicians.

Main Body

The USA now calls drug groups 'terrorists'. This helps the police find and catch them. For example, the USA brought a man named Jose Enrique Martinez Flores from Colombia to a US court. Police also caught Audias Flores Silva from the CJNG group. He sold drugs and hid money. After the leaders left, many people died in fights in Mexico. Some Mexican politicians are in trouble too. Gerardo Merida Sanchez took money from a drug group to help them. He is now in a US jail.

Conclusion

The USA will continue to call drug groups terrorists and put bad leaders in jail.
