US Slam Dunks Ecuador's Los Choneros & Lobos as Terrorists

In a plot twist juicier than a telenovela, the U.S. has officially slapped the 'foreign terrorist organization' label on Ecuador's two heavyweight gangs, Los Choneros and Los Lobos. No, these aren't new boy bands but actual criminal squads rocking Ecuador’s streets, probably less 'singing' and more 'tenting'—wait, no, more like 'shooting.' This bureaucratic mic drop was announced with the flair of a Netflix season finale, signifying that the covert gangsters will now be the ex-gangsters in the eyes of Uncle Sam. Though no exact dollar damages were cited, these gang wars are surely costing more drama dollars than a prime-time reality TV marathon.
