Nicholas Douglas Quets United States-Mexico Rapid Response for Victims of Crime Act

This bill directs the Secretary of State, working with the Attorney General, to negotiate a rapid response agreement with Mexico for serious crimes committed against U.S. citizens in Mexico. Serious crimes include homicides, kidnappings, disappearances, and violent crimes linked to organized crime or cartels. The State Department would seek procedures for prompt notification, evidence protection, information sharing, extradition requests, and a U.S. contact person who keeps victims' families updated. The Secretary would report to Congress on negotiation progress within 180 days and yearly until the agreement exists, and then yearly on how it is being carried out.
