Combatting Mexican Cartels

Congressman Dan Crenshaw outlines his initiatives to address the growing influence of Mexican cartels at the U.S. southern border, emphasizing the need for a multifaceted approach. He highlights the establishment of a bipartisan task force focused specifically on cartel-related issues, which arose from discussions about existing border security legislation. This task force aims to create comprehensive policies that target the systemic nature of cartels, including their operations and networks. Central to this initiative is the collaboration with Mexico to dismantle cartels, drawing parallels to past U.S.-Colombia cooperation in dealing with drug-related violence.
