Mexico Cross-Border Crime Accountability Act

This bill requires the U.S. Secretary of State to develop and submit a comprehensive strategy for U.S. security assistance to Mexico within 180 days of enactment. The strategy must detail how aid will target transnational criminal networks (including drug trafficking, human smuggling, and weapons trafficking), strengthen Mexico’s border security and justice institutions, and combat corruption. It also mandates annual progress reports to Congress and a review of past assistance under the Mérida Initiative. The bill does not authorize new funding but sets requirements for how existing security aid will be structured and evaluated.
