## Summary

**This resolution would require a detailed State Department report on Mexico's human rights practices related to non‑citizens removed to Mexico by the United States.** It would focus on alleged abuses, pre‑removal U.S. assessments, and whether U.S. security assistance could be linked to rights violations. - Migrants and families: The report would document credible allegations about arbitrary arrest, detention, torture, enforced disappearances, trafficking, due process violations, and detention conditions for non‑citizens removed to Mexico. It would also request information on any individuals sent to Mexico in 2025. - U.S. agencies and affected individuals: The State Department, working with the Assistant Secretary for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor and the Office of the Legal Adviser, would have to describe steps the U.S. takes to prevent removals to harm. That includes individualized pre‑removal assessments and any assurances about legal status or humane treatment if people remain in Mexico. - Congress and oversight: Senate and House foreign affairs committees would receive analyses of whether U.S. security assistance could be used to support rendition, trafficking, detention, or imprisonment, plus assessments of detention conditions and a summary of 2025 meetings between U.S. and Mexican officials.
