Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control Hearing on U.S.-Caribbean Security Cooperation


Wednesday, February 01, 2012

At this hearing, the Caucus examined drug-related violence in the Caribbean and U.S. security assistance through the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative.  Senator Feinstein emphasized the importance of focusing on the Caribbean where drug traffickers are bound to return – and in many cases already have – as a result of increased enforcement efforts in Mexico and Central America.
