Campaign and strategy against minor recruitment by cartels

This new law aims to protect minors, especially those living near the Mexico border, from being recruited by cartels and criminal organizations. It establishes an informational campaign for students and a national strategy to combat this issue. Funding for these efforts will come from assets seized from criminals.
Key points
Youth education: Middle and high school students within 100 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border will receive information about the dangers of working with cartels.
National strategy: A plan will be developed to combat the recruitment of minors by criminal organizations for illegal smuggling and trafficking activities.
Funding: These initiatives will be financed by money and assets seized from criminals, meaning these funds will be used for public safety.
