On December 2, 2024, Rep. Auchincloss shared concerns regarding international crime networks stating that “The Chinese Communist Party & the Mexican drug cartels are working together to traffic fentanyl into the United States.” He emphasized the need for various counter-measures while cautioning against across-the-board tariffs as a last resort.

On December 4, 2024, Auchincloss introduced new legislation aimed at combating digital privacy violations.
