It’s become a joke, a rather well-worn one by now, to say that Donald Trump has been getting ideas about fighting the war on drugs from Denis Villeneuve’s film Sicario. That film, and its vastly inferior sequel, depicted clandestine paramilitary operations that go beyond usual police measures used by the US government agencies against the Mexican drug cartels in the border region. In the real world, the American state has accelerated the para-militarisation of the war against the drug cartels.


 
Earlier this year, Trump ordered the State Department to declare the Latin American drug cartels as “terrorist organisations.” In August, Trump signed a directive permitting the Pentagon to use military force against those cartels. Mexico is the target most people will have in mind. But it also included Venezuela, Guatemala, and El-Salvador.
