Cooperation on Combatting Human Smuggling and Trafficking Act
This bill directs the Department of Homeland Security to strengthen partnerships with law enforcement in Mexico, Central America, and South America to address human smuggling and trafficking. Key provisions include creating cross-border investigative teams to disrupt trafficking operations, expanding training for foreign law enforcement, and supporting investigations targeting smugglers who threaten border security - particularly those exploiting children and families. It also mandates targeted public information campaigns in high-migration regions to counter misinformation from criminal groups and inform migrants about travel risks. These efforts directly affect U.S. border security operations, foreign law enforcement partners, and migrant populations in affected countries.
