What this bill would do
This bill, known as the ``Transnational Fentanyl Prevention Act'', requires the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency to provide an intelligence assessment to Congress. The assessment must focus on the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco Cartel. The Director is tasked with consulting with other elements of the intelligence community as deemed appropriate. This report must include details on leadership, drug smuggling routes, and the production of synthetic drugs. It also requires information on how these groups target United States consumers and their impact on security services. Finally, the assessment must provide revenue estimates for these criminal organizations.
