Description

To carry out a project to design and implement a cartel anti-recruitment initiative that will detect, monitor, analyze, and forecast cartel recruitment trends and their impact on cartel operations in Mexico.This project addresses transnational organized crime at its source, particularly cartel recruitment. The development of the Cartel Recruitment Understanding & Suppression Hub (CRUSH) looks to advance a safer, stronger, and more prosperous America by disrupting fentanyl supply chains through reduced cartel recruitment; strengthen border security by weakening criminal control of smuggling and migration routes along the U.S.–Mexico border; enhancing U.S. community safety by addressing the root causes of organized crime and drug trafficking; and promoting regional stability by strengthening Mexico’s institutional capacity and reducing violence that drives irregular migration and undermines governance.
