U.S. Congressmen present bill to control arms trafficking to Mexico

U.S. congressmen presented a bill that plans to increase collaboration to identify, target, break and dismantle criminal organizations.

US congressmen presented a bill “to disarm the drug cartels by controlling arms trafficking to Mexico, one of the issues creating tensions with the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

The Mexican government complains that it has only one armory in the entire country but each year it registers almost 30,000 deaths by firearms and more than half a million U.S.-made weapons are trafficked.

Eleven Democratic congressmen ask the Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, to increase “interagency collaboration to identify, target, break and dismantle transnational criminal organizations responsible for exporting firearms and ammunition from the United States to Mexico”.
