Cooperation on Combatting Human Smuggling and Trafficking Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

DHS must seek to expand partnerships with law enforcement in Latin American countries to combat human smuggling and trafficking operations in such countries.
DHS must also seek to expand collaborative programs involving Homeland Security Investigations that are aimed at human smugglers and traffickers targeting children and families that pose border security threats at the U.S. southern border.
