Rep. Dan Crenshaw , R- Texas , plans to introduce legislation establishing a House select committee aimed at combating Mexican drug cartels.

The proposed bill would authorize the use of military force against the Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels, though not against Mexico itself.

The push for expanded powers comes after recent high-profile arrests of cartel leaders.
