Protecting American Industry and Labor from International Trade Crimes Act of 2026
The House debated H.R. 1869, the Protecting American Industry and Labor from International Trade Crimes Act, brought up under a motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill as amended. The bill would have the Justice Department create a dedicated task force to investigate and prosecute trade-related crimes such as counterfeit goods, duty evasion, and forced labor. Sponsors including Representatives Schmidt and Hinson said it targets trade crimes, especially from China, that hurt American workers and businesses. Representatives Raskin and Krishnamoorthi also supported the bill, with Raskin adding that Congress would need to provide funding so the department can hire staff to do the work.Written by AI from the debate.
