The Counternarcotics Enhancement Act directs the U.S. intelligence community to develop a comprehensive action plan to strengthen drug-fighting collaboration with Mexico's government. Within 60 days of the bill's passage, each intelligence agency must submit detailed assessments to the Director of National Intelligence outlining their current relationships with Mexican government agencies, any counterintelligence risks involved, and strategies to improve counternarcotics cooperation. The Director of National Intelligence then has 180 days to compile these submissions into a unified action plan that will be sent to Congress, along with recommendations for any additional authorities or resources needed for implementation during fiscal year 2026. The action plan will be released in unclassified form (though it may include classified details in a separate annex), making key aspects of the government's Mexico strategy available to lawmakers overseeing intelligence activities.
