American Cooperation with Our Neighbors Act

Key Points

• The bill tells the State Department to write a U.S.–Mexico plan within 270 days to boost cooperation between local and state partners on both sides of the border.
• The plan would focus on working together to curb fentanyl and other synthetic opioids, including training help, exchange programs, and better coordination between police and security agencies.
• It also calls for stronger local “tables” where federal and local governments, community groups, faith groups, and business leaders can work on border-area problems tied to drug trafficking.
• The bill pushes for more support for border towns and local organizations that help meet community needs in those areas.
• It adds a check on sharing data with foreign countries: the State Department must notify Congress about what data would be shared before moving ahead with that part of the plan, and the President must send an update report 2 years later.
