Create a national strategy to address cartel recruitment of teenagers online

Ciscomani introduced the Combating Cartels on Social Media Act. It would direct the Department of Homeland Security to create a national strategy to counter drug cartels and other transnational criminal organizations that use social media to recruit teenagers to traffic drugs across the border and into the United States. The bill would also establish a process for social media companies to report recruitment posts so law enforcement can track and disrupt recruitment efforts.
