The No More Narcos Act directs the Attorney General and Drug Enforcement Administration to create an educational campaign within one year that warns middle and high school students near the U.S.-Mexico border (within 100 miles) about the dangers of working with drug cartels and transnational criminal organizations. Additionally, the Secretary of Homeland Security must develop a national strategy to prevent cartels from recruiting minors in the United States for smuggling and trafficking activities. The bill funds these efforts through the Department of Justice Assets Forfeiture Fund, which allows seized criminal assets to be used to pay for the campaign and strategy implementation. The legislation targets minors in border communities and focuses on prevention through education and federal coordination across multiple agencies including the DEA, Department of Education, and Office of National Drug Control Policy.
