Ah, a hysterical Fox article about crime committed by minority immigrants. My favorite.
Anyway, okay, law enforcement is going to try to arrest criminals! Novel idea.

I’m sure Venezuela cares what a US state considers a terrorist organization.

So, gov. Abbott is trying to prove that he has no idea what terrorism is, huh?
Terrorism has a pretty solid definition. It’s not just an armed group that scares people; it’s violence that’s directed at uninvolved civilians as a proxy for the gov’t. It’s violence with an explicitly political motive. If you systematically murder the extended families of police officers in a town so that the cops back off enforcing the law and the gov’t collapses, that’s terrorism. If you’re killing rival gang members, that’s just a turf war.
These aren’t terrorists, they’re just ordinary criminals, and gov’ Abbott is just an ordinary idiot that’s trying to score political points.
