Gang Elimination Act of 2006

The Gang Elimination Act of 2006 would require the U.S. Attorney General to develop and present a national strategy to dismantle the operations of the country’s most dangerous international drug gangs. The bill focuses on identifying the top three organizations that pose the greatest risk to public safety based on their ties to terrorism, the volume of illegal drugs they distribute, and the specific threats they pose to schools and children. For citizens, this legislation aims to improve federal coordination in reducing drug-related crime and increasing safety in local communities by prioritizing the removal of high-level criminal networks.
