Bill overview
The Stop the Cartels Act aims to combat drug trafficking organizations and human smuggling by strengthening intelligence gathering, restricting federal funding to jurisdictions that aid cartels, and implementing stricter asylum requirements. It directs the Department of Homeland Security to report on migrant trends, designates specific cartels as ‘Special Transnational Criminal Organizations,’ and seeks to improve law enforcement cooperation with Mexico. The bill also includes provisions to address human trafficking at the border and modify asylum procedures, while repurposing certain federal drug programs.
