U.S. Security Strategy for Mexico
This bill would require the Secretary of State to deliver a U.S.-Mexico security assistance strategy to Congress within 180 days of enactment. The report would go to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee. It would plan how U.S. assistance would dismantle transnational criminal networks that traffic illicit drugs (including fentanyl) and related crimes, strengthen Mexico’s military and public security at the northern and southern borders, and build civilian law enforcement, prosecutors, and courts to fight corruption and impunity. The report would list implementing government entities and nongovernmental groups, set priorities, milestones, and performance measures, and describe bilateral cooperation mechanisms. The report must be unclassified but may include a classified annex. The Secretary would brief the two committees within one year after submission and then annually. The bill would not authorize the use of U.S. military force in Mexico.
