Counternarcotics Enhancement Act

S 2242, the Counternarcotics Enhancement Act, requires U.S. intelligence agencies to strengthen collaboration with Mexico's government on counternarcotics efforts. Within 60 days of enactment, each intelligence agency must assess its existing relationships with Mexican counterparts and propose strategies for improved cooperation, including resource needs. The Director of National Intelligence must then compile these submissions and develop an unclassified action plan with recommendations for 2026, including potential authority or funding changes. This bill directly affects U.S. intelligence community elements and their coordination with Mexican government agencies on drug trafficking issues.
