Biden Administration Handicapped Federal Law Enforcement from Aggressively Pursuing Terrorist Cartels, Says South Texas U.S. Attorney

Aaron Reitz, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Texas, stated at a press conference near the Texas-Mexico border that federal authorities faced constraints in prosecuting cartel members during the Biden administration.

Reitz did not specify which cartels received the FTO designation or provide details on the legal constraints he referenced.
