Reps. Crenshaw and Waltz Introduce AUMF Targeting Mexican Drug Cartels

“The situation at our southern border has become untenable for our law enforcement personnel largely due to the activities spurred by the heavily armed and well financed Sinola and Jalisco cartels,” said Rep. Waltz. “It’s time to go on offense. Not only are these paramilitary transnational criminal organizations responsible for killing an unprecedented number of Americans, but are actively undermining our sovereignty by destabilizing our border and waging war against US law enforcement and the Mexican military. an AUMF would give the President sophisticated military cyber, intelligence, and surveillance resources to disrupt cartel operations that are endangering Americans. The US was successful in assisting the Columbian government dismantle cartels in the 1990s and must do the same now.”

The Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) allows the President to use military force against cartels based on their fentanyl trafficking, production, and distribution; their use of force against US law enforcement and/or military, law enforcement and/or military of a neighboring country, and/or to gain control of territory to use for their criminal enterprise. The AUMF specifically names the biggest cartels operating in Mexico, specifically Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation Cartel – the main importers of fentanyl into the United States. This AUMF also establishes limitations that prohibit the use of military force against foreign persons outside the territory of the United States to ensure the civil liberties of U.S. citizens are protected and includes a sunset five years after enactment to ensure the war against cartels does not become an endless war.

JOINT RESOLUTION
To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for trafficking fentanyl or a fentanyl-related substance into the United States or carrying out other related activities that cause regional destabilization in the Western Hemisphere.

Whereas armed cartels such as Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel are responsible for trafficking fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances into the United States;
Whereas fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances kill approximately 80,000 Americans every year and is the leading cause of death for American men between the ages of 18 and 45;
Whereas the Sinaloa Cartel and the Los Zetas Cartel, among others, consistently engage in violence against each other and other cartels, creating instability mere miles from the border of the United States;
Whereas in 2015, the Sinaloa Cartel shot down a Mexican military helicopter with a high powered weapon;
Whereas in 2019, when the Mexican National Guard arrested Ovidio Guzman, the son of Joaquin “el Chapo” Guzman, the Sinaloa Cartel attacked Mexican Government forces and forced them to release Ovidio Guzman;
Whereas in 2022, a battle between cartels along the United States-Mexico border led to the closure of two ports of entry;
Whereas in 2022, a grenade attack against the United States consulate in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico required employees to shelter in place;
Whereas Mexican cartels regularly intimidate, assault, kidnap, torture, and kill Mexican law enforcement; and
Whereas Mexican cartels have repeatedly fired at law enforcement and national guard posted along the United States-Mexico border: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
