This resolution requests that the Secretary of State submit a detailed report within 30 days on Mexico's human rights practices, with particular focus on how the Mexican government treats non-citizens who have been removed to Mexico by the United States. The report must address allegations of torture, arbitrary detention, forced disappearances, human trafficking, and denial of due process rights, as well as evaluate whether U.S. security assistance to Mexico could be misused to harm these individuals. The resolution also requires the State Department to document what steps the U.S. government has taken to protect deported individuals from mistreatment, assess conditions in Mexican detention facilities, and provide information on any agreements or assurances made with Mexico regarding the treatment and potential return of these individuals. This resolution is tied to existing law requiring human rights assessments before providing military aid to foreign governments and reflects congressional concern about the welfare of non-citizens returned to Mexico.
