Stop the Cartels Act

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill makes changes to immigration rules, law enforcement cooperation with Mexico, and how the government handles drug cartels. It would stop federal money from going to cities or states that don't follow immigration detention requests or have policies that go against immigration laws. The bill also makes it harder for people to qualify for asylum by requiring them to prove a stronger fear of persecution, and it would set up refugee processing centers in Central America. Additionally, it would hold back certain aid to Mexico until that country removes barriers to sharing law enforcement information with the United States, and it creates a new way to officially designate criminal organizations like the Sinaloa Cartel as special threats with penalties for anyone who supports them.
