10 U.S.C. § 284 (Section 284) provides that the Secretary of Defense may provide support for the counterdrug activities or activities to counter transnational organized crime of any law enforcement agency, including through the (c)onstruction of roads and fences and installation of lighting to block drug smuggling corridors across international boundaries of the United States.
Use of Section 284 would not require a declaration of a national emergency under the NEA (National Emergency Act).
Thank you!
That’s right and those that brung him will finish the job if they have too.
Section 284 is limited to “known”
drug corridors and most appropriation
would apply to ports of entry, since
they are the areas with the most drug
activity.
