What is a primary focus of HSI's anti-smuggling initiatives?

The primary focus of HSI's anti-smuggling initiatives is the illegal transport of goods and individuals. This encompasses a wide range of activities aimed at preventing the unlawful movement of people, including human trafficking, and contraband, which can involve drugs, weapons, and other prohibited items. HSI's operations specifically target this type of crime due to its significant impact on national security, public safety, and the rule of law.

By concentrating on the illegal transport of goods and individuals, HSI aims to dismantle smuggling networks, disrupt the organized crime that often underpins these activities, and protect vulnerable populations. This comprehensive approach is vital for addressing the broader implications of smuggling, which often extends beyond just the act itself to include the associated criminal enterprises and social issues.
