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

This bill would allow 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. The agreement could include steps for quick notification of authorities, protecting crime scenes and evidence, sharing investigative information, extradition contacts, and a U.S. contact person who updates victims' families. The Secretary of State would report to Congress within 180 days and each year after on progress toward the agreement. Once the agreement exists, the Secretary would also report each year on how it is being carried out.
