The "Combating Cartels on Social Media Act of 2025" aims to tackle the issue of transnational criminal organizations using social media to recruit individuals in the United States for illegal activities. The legislation seeks to establish a coordinated strategy among key federal agencies to combat these recruitment efforts and assess the misuse of online platforms. To achieve this, the bill mandates that the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of State conduct a joint assessment within 180 days of enactment.
