Show full summary
- Families and students: Would fund an informational campaign run by the Attorney General through the Drug Enforcement Administration, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Education, to teach covered students about the dangers and risks of working with cartels. Covered students are middle and high schoolers in U.S. communities within 100 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border.
- Communities and law enforcement: Would require the Department of Homeland Security to develop and implement a national strategy to combat cartels and other transnational criminal organizations that target and recruit minors for unlawful smuggling or trafficking.
- Federal funding: Would amend the Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture Fund to authorize payments for the informational campaign and the DHS national strategy, making those activities an allowable use of forfeiture funds.

Border student anti-cartel campaign and strategy
If enacted, the Attorney General would run a campaign to warn middle and high school students near the U.S.–Mexico border about cartel recruitment. It would focus on students who live within 100 miles of the border and would need to launch within one year. The Department of Homeland Security would also set a national plan to stop cartels and other transnational criminal groups from recruiting minors under 18 for smuggling or trafficking. Money from the Justice Department’s Asset Forfeiture Fund could pay for both the campaign and the national plan.
