    Based upon a review of the Administrative Records assembled in this 
matter, and in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary 
of the Treasury, I have concluded that there is a sufficient factual

known as Aragua Train); Mara Salvatrucha (also known as MS-13); Cartel 
de Sinaloa (also known as Sinaloa Cartel, Mexican Federation, 
Guadalajara Cartel); Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (also known as 
New Generation Cartel of Jalisco, CJNG, Jalisco New Generation Cartel); 
Carteles Unidos (also known as United Cartels, Tepalcatepec Cartel, 
Cartel de Tepalcatepec, The Grandfather Cartel, Cartel del Abuelo, 
Cartel de Los Reyes); Cartel del Noreste (also known as CDN, Northeast 
Cartel, Los Zetas); Cartel del Golfo (also known as CDG, Gulf Cartel, 
Osiel Cardenas-Guillen Organization); and La Nueva Familia Michoacana 
(also known as LNFM).

    Therefore, I hereby designate the aforementioned organizations and 
their respective aliases as Foreign Terrorist Organizations pursuant to 
section 219 of the INA.
    This determination shall be published in the Federal Register. The 
designations go into effect upon publication.

    Dated: February 6, 2025.
