Creates campaigns and a national plan to protect young people from cartel recruitment.
This bill would create new programs to help protect young people from being recruited by cartels and other criminal groups. It would start an informational campaign for middle and high school students living near the U.S.-Mexico border. It would also set up a national plan to stop this recruitment. Money from the Department of Justice's asset forfeiture fund would pay for these efforts.
Today, there is no specific federal informational campaign or national strategy aimed at preventing minors from working with cartels. If this bill becomes law, the government would create an informational campaign for middle and high school students in communities within 100 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border. It would also establish a national strategy to combat cartels recruiting young people, with both efforts paid for by the Department of Justice's Assets Forfeiture Fund.
