Disrupt Fentanyl Trafficking Act of 2023
The Disrupt Fentanyl Trafficking Act of 2023 requires the Department of Defense to develop a strategy within 120 days to disrupt fentanyl trafficking by improving coordination among federal, state, and local law enforcement, enhancing surveillance and intelligence sharing across borders, and strengthening international cooperation with Mexico and Canada. The strategy must detail how the Department will use existing authorities to monitor trafficking routes, train law enforcement, and build partner country capabilities to dismantle fentanyl production and distribution networks. The bill also mandates reports on past reimbursements for Department of Defense support to border law enforcement and on efforts to improve security cooperation with Mexico’s defense officials.
