Additionally, the Stop Fentanyl Border Crossings Act seeks to enhance cooperation and information sharing between US and Mexican authorities in order to more effectively target and dismantle fentanyl trafficking networks. The bill also includes provisions for increasing penalties for individuals caught smuggling fentanyl across the border. Overall, the Stop Fentanyl Border Crossings Act aims to strengthen border security and law enforcement efforts in order to prevent the flow of fentanyl into the United States and reduce the devastating impact of this dangerous drug on communities across the country.
