Bill > HR4070

This bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to produce two key documents related to Tren de Aragua, a transnational criminal organization. First, within 180 days of enactment, the Secretary must submit a comprehensive border threat assessment to congressional committees, which will detail the criminal threats posed by Tren de Aragua members seeking to enter the United States through southwest, northern, or maritime borders. The assessment must include information about the organization's origins, strategic aims, tactical methods, funding sources, leadership structure, and growth in the United States. The document will be primarily unclassified but may include a classified annex. Second, within one year of submitting the threat assessment, the Secretary must develop a strategic plan to counter the identified threats, which will focus on analyzing and sharing border security information across federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies, and outlining specific efforts to locate, detect, interdict, and disrupt Tren de Aragua's operations and prevent their proliferation in the United States. The bill defines "appropriate congressional committees" as the House and Senate Homeland Security Committees and references the intelligence community definition from the National Security Act of 1947.
