#URGENT

🇺🇸❌🇧🇷💊❗️ — Following Senator Flavio Bolsonaro's visit to United States, United States State Department declared Red Command (CV) and the First Command of Capital (PCC), Brazil's largest drug smuggling networks, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs)!

“Today, the U.S. Department of State is designating the Red Command (CV) and the First Capital Command (PCC) as Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) and intends to designate both groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs), effective June 5, 2026.

The CV and the PCC are two of the most violent criminal organizations in Brazil. Together, they command thousands of members and have orchestrated brutal attacks against police, public officials, and Brazilian civilians. Their influence and illicit networks extend far beyond Brazil's borders, throughout our region and even to our country.

The Trump Administration will continue to use all available tools to protect our nation and our national security interests, keeping illicit drugs off our streets and disrupting the revenue streams that finance violent narcoterrorists.

The action taken today by the Department of State further demonstrates the Trump Administration's unwavering commitment to dismantling cartels and criminal organizations in our region and ensuring the safety of the American people.

Today's actions are taken in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and Executive Order 13224. The FTO designations take effect upon publication in the Federal Register.”
