No U.S. military action in Mexico without Mexico's consent and explicit congressional authorization. This resolution would reaffirm Mexico's sovereignty under the United Nations and Organization of American States charters and promote diplomacy over unilateral force.

Show full summary
  • Warns unilateral U.S. strikes could increase violence and displacement, driving more forced migration and harm to families.
  • Notes Mexico is the United States' largest trading partner and warns unilateral action could hurt U.S. workers and consumers and put U.S. service members and civilians at risk.
  • Clarifies that labeling groups as foreign terrorist organizations does not automatically permit military action, affirms the President's limited power to repel sudden attacks, states fentanyl trafficking is not by itself an armed attack, and calls for continued bilateral cooperation to combat crime and trafficking.
