Summary
The Stop Fueling Cartel Violence Act directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report within 180 days detailing how Department of Defense resources can be used to disrupt the theft and cross‑border trafficking of crude oil, gasoline, diesel and other petroleum products by Mexican transnational criminal organizations. It also asks for recommendations on future non‑kinetic actions, capacity‑building with partner nations, and information‑sharing with other U.S. agencies. The bill aims to treat fuel theft as a national‑security threat comparable to drug trafficking.
