Measuring Illicit Fentanyl Trafficking Act
Current understanding
A bill requiring DHS components engaged in detecting, deterring, and seizing fentanyl to collaborate and share data with one another and to establish performance metrics related to those activities. The measure is a coordination and accountability mandate rather than a grant of new enforcement authority, and its practical effect would fall on CBP, ICE, and other DHS units already handling fentanyl interdiction. Status: introduced.
