Stop Fueling Cartel Violence Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to send a report to the congressional defense committees within 180 days after it becomes law. The report would describe what the Department of Defense is doing to deny, disrupt, or degrade criminal groups involved in stealing or smuggling crude oil and related products, mainly Mexico-based cartels. It would also include recommendations for more non-combat actions, such as training partner nations' security forces and sharing information with civilian agencies, and an assessment of the resources used. The bill also states Congress's view that cartel fuel theft and smuggling is a threat to U.S. national security and should be a priority in counterdrug strategy.
