Amicus Briefs

Estados Unidos Mexicanos v. Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc., et al.

Estados Unidos Mexicanos v. Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc., et al. (D. Mass.): Cohen Milstein filed an amicus curiae brief on behalf of senior law enforcement officers in the U.S. in support of the United States of Mexico before the Supreme Court of the United States. Amici argue that U.S. gun manufacturers’ sales and manufacturing practices arm the transnational criminal organizations engaged in a deadly war over lucrative drug trafficking routes. Access to American-made firearms flowing across the U.S.- Mexico border at ever-increasing rates empowers these cartels. In turn, they use their power to unleash havoc in Mexico and the United States.
