Cooperation on Combating Human Smuggling and Trafficking Act

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to strengthen international partnerships with law enforcement in Mexico and Central/South American countries to combat human smuggling and trafficking. Key provisions include establishing cross-border investigative units to disrupt trafficking operations, expanding participation in the Bilateral Human Trafficking Enforcement Initiative, and providing training for foreign investigators and prosecutors. It also mandates targeted public information campaigns to inform migrants about travel dangers and counter misinformation from criminal groups, focusing on high-migration regions. The bill directly affects DHS, foreign law enforcement agencies, and migrant populations in Mexico, Central America, and South America.
