Mexico Cross-Border Crime Accountability Act

This bill would require the Secretary of State, within 180 days, to send Congress a report with a strategy for U.S. security assistance to Mexico. The strategy must include a plan to break up criminal networks that traffic drugs such as fentanyl, people, and weapons, and to build the capacity of Mexico's military, police, prosecutors, and courts. It must also list projects and performance measures, assess past aid under the Merida Initiative, and include a fraud risk assessment of State Department programs under the Bicentennial Framework. The Secretary would give Congress written updates and briefings each year for about three years. The bill states that it does not authorize the use of military force against Mexico.
