The FBI has instructed local law enforcement agencies to submit names of individuals tied to certain drug cartels and gangs for potential inclusion on the U.S. government's terrorist watch list created after the 9/11 attacks, according to a new report.
The move could significantly increase the number of Americans flagged on the list, which currently contains about 1.1 million names, which included roughly 6,000 U.S. citizens and permanent residents in August 2024.
