The U.S. State Department says it’s putting visa restrictions on dozens of people it links to the Sinaloa cartel.
The State Department said in a statement it’s restricting visas for 75 people who it says are family members or personal or business associates of people linked to the Sinaloa cartel.
The Trump administration designated that group, along with several other Mexico-based drug cartels, as foreign terrorist organizations last year.
The State Department did not release the names of the individuals whose visas have been restricted. Last year, Reuters reported that at least 50 Mexican officials have had their visas to visit the United States revoked since the start of the Trump administration — marking an escalation from previous administrations.
