Overview

• Officials inaugurated a Mexico–U.S. Security Implementation Group in McAllen, Texas to direct the rollout and meet regularly to track progress.
• U.S. authorities committed to reinforce operations on their side of the border as both countries prepare coordinated inspections, real-time intelligence sharing and broader joint investigations.
• Mexico will expand the ATF-linked eTrace system and ballistic identification technology to all 32 states to accelerate firearm tracing and support prosecutions.
• A new secure platform will share information on suspicious packages and air cargo to help identify and intercept illicit drugs, precursor chemicals, firearms and stolen fuel.
• Early steps include CBP weapons‑interdiction training for ANAM officers at the Reynosa–McAllen crossing, while Mexico emphasizes cooperation under sovereignty safeguards and both sides form a task effort on illicit financing and asset seizures.
