## Summary

**Preventing minors from collaborating with cartels** is the bill's central aim. This bill would create two linked federal initiatives: an education campaign for at-risk students and a Homeland Security national strategy to stop cartel recruitment of minors. - 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.
