Bill > S1048

This bill, the Ending the Notorious, Aggressive, and Remorseless Criminal Organizations and Syndicates Act of 2023 or the Ending the NARCOS Act of 2023, aims to designate Mexican cartels and other transnational criminal organizations as foreign terrorist organizations. This would enable the use of specific laws to prosecute drug traffickers associated with these organizations, freeze their assets, and deny members entry into the United States. The bill also establishes an Interagency Task Force to Combat Mexican Cartels and Other Transnational Criminal Organizations, which will be responsible for analyzing intelligence, conducting operational planning, and ensuring agencies have the necessary resources to counter these organizations, particularly the threat posed by the distribution of controlled substances like fentanyl into the United States.
