California family's anti-terrorism suit trods new ground in targeting Sinaloa cartel for DEA agent's killing
Briefly

The family of Enrique Kiki Camarena, a DEA agent murdered in Mexico in 1985, has filed a groundbreaking lawsuit under the Anti-Terrorism Act against the Sinaloa cartel and three drug traffickers. This marks the first such suit in San Diego and the U.S. against a Mexican drug-trafficking organization, spurred by the cartel's recent designation as a foreign terrorist group and the return of Rafael Caro Quintero to the U.S. The suit seeks justice beyond financial compensation, as family members emphasize the need for accountability for Camarena's sacrifice.
An attorney for the family of Enrique Kiki Camarena noted the landmark Anti-Terrorism Act lawsuit is unprecedented in seeking justice against a Mexican drug-trafficking organization.
