Congress Must Reject Trump’s War Plans for Mexico: Indicators suggest that Trump and his supporters could transform a failed war on drugs into a reckless and catastrophic conflict in Mexico

Win Without War - Concerning indicators suggest that Trump and his supporters could transform a failed war on drugs into a reckless and catastrophic conflict in Mexico.

According to Win Without War:

• Elon Musk, whose influence over this Administration became alarmingly evident in a recent Cabinet meeting, highlighted the potential repercussions of labeling cartels and criminal organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs): “This designation makes them eligible for drone strikes.” Meanwhile, Seb Gorka, Trump’s Senior Director for Counterterrorism, is advocating for military operations within Mexico, without the support of the Mexican government or Congressional approval. This is how perilous notions evolve into lethal policies.
• Trump’s actions are just as unlikely to curtail the drug trade or assist families grappling with the fentanyl crisis as they are to escalate violence and displacement in Mexico and endanger our servicemen and women.
• Fortunately, Representative Joaquin Castro has introduced a resolution aimed at opposing this dangerous policy shift by affirming Mexico’s sovereignty and denouncing these reckless actions. It is crucial for Congress to act quickly to pass this resolution and redirect us from this misguided path toward conflict.
• Such legislation serves as a powerful reminder to the Trump administration—and to the world—that there is no appetite for a U.S. war in Mexico, and it is activists like us who will rally the necessary support to make that clear. That’s why we are mobilizing individuals nationwide to urge every member of Congress to cosponsor and expedite the passage of the resolution. Will you take action now?
