The U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network directed money services businesses in 30 zip codes across California and Texas on Tuesday to lower their threshold for filing currency transaction reports from $10,000 to $200.

FinCEN explained Tuesday that the geographic targeting order, which follows the State Department’s designation of eight transnational crime syndicates, including six drug cartels in Mexico, as foreign terrorist organizations, aims to squeeze financial networks linked to the flow of fentanyl and other illegal narcotics into the U.S.

The zip codes specified in the GTO cover MSBs in the border counties of Imperial, San Diego and Cameron in California, and El Paso, Hidalgo, Maverick and Webb in Texas.
