What’s happening with Stop the Cartels Act?
The Stop the Cartels Act is currently stalled in the House Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement as of March 5, 2025.

This bill has seen no recorded action since March 5, 2025, and historical data shows that committee inaction is the most common way for a bill to end.
