CAC Activities

Increase Cartel Awareness in the U.S. 

Tie Local Crimes to Cartels

Influence Policy


Produce news reports about cartel crimes and other activities in communities across the U.S. This will include use of a network of community news websites and platforms, as well as press releases, statements, and other materials for all media.

 

Utilize a national Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) program to obtain arrest and other public records about local cartel members from state agencies and local law enforcement offices nationwide. The data will be used to create crime profiles and other information to compel members of Congress to act on behalf of their own communities. 

Work with congressional leaders and committees to develop and advance anti-cartel legislation, and work with the Executive Branch to develop Executive Orders aimed at disrupting cartel activities. Our work will be used to support rather than supplant all other groups that are already working with Congress on policies to confront the cartels.
