The government of Argentine President Javier Milei has officially designated five Latin American criminal groups and guerrilla organizations, including Colombia's Farc and ELN as well as Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel, as terrorist organizations. The announcement, made on Thursday, October 22, 2026, categorized the leftist guerrilla groups as extreme-left insurgent organizations.
This decision aligns Argentina's security policy closely with that of the United States, which is described as the country's primary ally in the region. The move broadens Argentina's counter-terrorism framework to encompass prominent transnational criminal and guerrilla networks operating across Mexico, Ecuador, and Colombia.
