ARepublican representative has urged the GOP to establish a dedicated committee to address the growing threat of drug cartels amid a push for military action against crime syndicates in Mexico.
Representative Dan Crenshaw, who serves Texas' 2nd Congressional District, is pushing for a specialized committee on cartels, seeking to bolster efforts to combat the escalating violence along the U.S.-Mexico border. The proposed legislation would allow the use of military force against the Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels, NewsNation reported, as part of a broader strategy to suppress cartel activity and cross-border crime.
On November 15, Crenshaw wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that cartels were "the greatest near-term threat," as he called on House Speaker Mike Johnson to create a select committee to tackle the Mexican drug groups.
"We have solutions. But we don't have any authority. A select committee will have a better chance of moving these bills to the House floor and to a president who will sign them," he wrote in the post.
