美国国务卿马可·卢比奥表示，美国于周三将厄瓜多尔帮派“琼内杀手”列为外国恐怖组织。
卢比奥在一份声明中称，该帮派“针对平民、执法人员和政府官员实施了多起袭击，其中包括针对公职人员的高调暗杀行动”，并补充说该组织同时被贴上“特别指定全球恐怖分子”的标签。
根据该裁定，琼内杀手的头目以及任何与该组织有关联的人员都可能受到美国制裁和刑事起诉。
厄瓜多尔外交部对这一裁定表示欢迎。
外交部在X平台发布的一份声明中称：“厄瓜多尔政府感谢美国对丹尼尔·诺奥阿总统全力打击犯罪组织的决定给予的坚定支持。”
琼内杀手是“中国佬帮”的分支，美国曾在2020年将“中国佬帮”列为外国恐怖组织。
此次裁定将冻结该组织及其成员在美国司法管辖范围内的任何资产。
卢比奥补充道：“特朗普政府将与厄瓜多尔和丹尼尔·诺奥阿总统合作，继续保护我们的半球，不让非法毒品流入我们的街道，并切断资助暴力毒品恐怖分子的收入来源。”
厄瓜多尔已从南美最安全的国家之一沦为主要的可卡因贩运枢纽，饱受与墨西哥和哥伦比亚贩毒集团有联系的帮派困扰。就在上个月，8具尸体被装在塑料袋中，丢弃在一个贩毒热点地区。
“狼帮”和“琼内罗斯帮”（以琼内市命名）是厄瓜多尔主要的贩毒和敲诈勒索帮派，与国际贩毒集团存在关联。美国已于今年9月将“狼帮”列为恐怖组织。
2024年，厄瓜多尔最大毒枭阿道夫·马西亚斯从最高安全级别的监狱越狱后，于2025年6月被重新抓获。此后，厄瓜多尔的帮派暴力活动有增无减。马西亚斯是“中国佬帮”的头目。2025年7月，厄瓜多尔政府将马西亚斯引渡至美国，他在美国面临多项贩毒和枪支指控。
作为特朗普总统的坚定盟友，诺奥阿已实施宵禁，并向多个省份部署军队，开展美国支持的打击行动，旨在铲除帮派活动。
近日，美国突击队员与厄瓜多尔军队联合开展行动，旨在摧毁该国沿海地区一个由疑似毒品恐怖主义组织运营的可疑犯罪据点。
今年3月初，美国和厄瓜多尔针对该国境内的“已指定恐怖组织”启动联合军事行动。
特朗普政府已将多个其他拉美帮派和贩毒集团列为恐怖组织，其中包括墨西哥锡那罗亚贩毒集团和委内瑞拉阿拉瓜火车帮。
上个月，特朗普称美军击毙了阿拉瓜火车帮的疑似头目。总统在Truth Social平台上表示，美国南方司令部实施了一次“迅速且致命的动能打击”，“成功处决”了赫克托·拉斯滕福德·格雷罗·弗洛雷斯，又名“小男孩格雷罗”。

U.S. designates Ecuador’s “Chone Killers” gang a terrorist organization
July 2, 2026 / 6:31 AM EDT / CBS/AFP
The United States on Wednesday designated Ecuadorian gang the “Chone Killers” as a foreign terrorist organization, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.
The gang “has committed numerous attacks targeting civilians, law enforcement officers, and government officials, including high-profile assassinations of public officials,” Rubio said in a statement, adding that the group was also branded “specially designated global terrorists.”
As a result, the Chone Killers leaders and anyone associated with them can be subject to U.S. sanctions and criminal prosecution.
Ecuador’s foreign ministry welcomed the designation.
“The Government of Ecuador thanks the firm support of the United States for the decision by President Daniel Noboa to maintain an all-out fight against criminal organizations,” the ministry said in a statement posted on X.
The Chone Killers are an offshoot of Los Chineros, a gang the United States previously designated as a foreign terrorist organization in 2020.
The designation freezes any assets the group or its members may have in U.S. jurisdictions.
“The Trump administration, in partnership with Ecuador and President Daniel Noboa, will continue to protect our hemisphere by keeping illicit drugs off our streets and disrupting the revenue streams funding violent narcoterrorists,” he added.
Ecuador has gone from one of South America’s safest countries to a major cocaine trafficking hub, plagued by gangs with ties to Mexican and Colombian cartels. Just last month, eight bodies were found in plastic bags in a narco-trafficking hotspot.
Los Lobos (The Wolves) and Los Choneros (after the city of Chone) are among Ecuador’s main drug trafficking and extortion gangs, with ties to international cartels. In September, Los Lobos was designated a terrorist organization by the United States.
Criminal gang violence continues unabated in Ecuador following the recapture in June 2025 of the country’s biggest drug lord, Adolfo Macías, who leads Los Choneros, after his escape from a maximum-security prison in 2024. In July 2025, the Ecuadoran government extradited Macías to the United States, where he faces multiple drug trafficking and firearms charges.
Noboa, a staunch ally of President Trump, has imposed curfews and deployed the military to several provinces in a U.S.-backed crackdown aimed at stamping out gang activity.
American commandos recently joined Ecuadorian troops in a joint mission aimed at dismantling a suspected criminal hub operated by an alleged narco-terrorist organization along the country’s coast.
In early March, the United States and Ecuador launched joint military operations against “designated terrorist organizations” in the country.
The Trump administration has designated a number of other Latin American gangs and drug cartels as terrorist organizations, including the Mexican Sinaloa cartel and Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua.
Last month, Mr. Trump said the U.S. military killed Tren de Aragua’s alleged leader. The president said on Truth Social that U.S. Southern Command carried out a “swift and lethal kinetic strike” to “successfully execute” Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, also known as Niño Guerrero.
