Have the ONDCP Director consult federal border enforcement officials
Printed page 61 2. Executive Office of the President
“For these reasons, the Director of ONDCP should make it a point to consult with federal border enforcement officials.”
What has happened
- Done
The Director consults border enforcement in a standing forum. On 14 April 2026 ONDCP hosted The Interdiction Committee Principals Meeting, bringing together senior officials from Homeland Security, Justice, War, Treasury, State and the Intelligence Community to "align federal operations to reduce the amount of illicit drugs entering American communities"; the agenda covered current supply-reduction operations, emerging fentanyl threat vectors, and the data systems used to track seizures, and the committee signed an updated charter for the coming year. The Committee is chaired by the U.S. Interdiction Coordinator, who sits at ONDCP, and Director Sara Carter spoke to it on the border directly: "under President Trump's leadership, we are strengthening our borders to keep illicit drugs out of our country."

Research notes
The event date is the meeting, 14 April 2026; the Evidence is the White House statement of 20 April 2026 that reports it. ONDCP’s 2026 National Drug Control Strategy (4 May 2026) makes the same commitment programmatically — “expands and formalizes joint operations through the Homeland Security Task Forces and enhances border security through Department of War support.”
