Transnational Criminal Organization Threat Assessment Act
This bill requires the Director of Homeland Security Investigations to produce annual, publicly accessible reports assessing threats from transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) to the U.S. Within 180 days of enactment and each year after, the report must detail TCO structures, drug smuggling trends (including seizures and drug types like opioids), gang-TCO collaborations, money laundering, and predictive trends for drug trafficking. The reports must be submitted to the House and Senate Homeland Security and Judiciary committees, with unclassified summaries posted online. The bill directly affects DHS, CBP, Coast Guard, and other federal agencies responsible for compiling the assessments, and informs congressional oversight of TCO threats.
