California’s economy helps keep America running — and criminals know it.
Organized cargo theft has exploded across the state, targeting freight infrastructure.
But we can stop it — with new, tough federal legislation.
From theports of Los AngelesandLong Beach, to the rail corridors and highways that crisscross the Central Valley, more goods move through California than any other state in the nation.
Our farms, factories, energy producers, and retailers depend on a freight network that works — safely, efficiently, and without criminal interference.
Today, that system is under a coordinated attack by sophisticated criminal networks that operate across state lines with little fear of consequence.
These are not isolated thefts or petty crimes.
They are deliberate, repeat-driven operations designed to exploit gaps in federal law and weak coordination among enforcement agencies across different levels of government.
Even Gov. Gavin Newsom has admitted the problem.
