Representatives from six U.S. government agencies and their Mexican counterparts met in Mexico City on December 11 for the second meeting of the Security Implementation Group (SIG). The meeting focused on strengthening security cooperation between the two countries to improve safety for citizens on both sides of the border.
A main priority discussed was ending the illicit trade in fentanyl, which has caused thousands of deaths annually in the United States. The SIG is taking action against financial institutions and individuals involved in producing, distributing, and selling fentanyl and its precursor chemicals.
Delegations from both nations also agreed to accelerate joint efforts to dismantle Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) and other criminal groups. They plan to disrupt illegal revenue streams and address new threats as they arise.
The United States and Mexico committed to enhancing intelligence sharing and connecting analytical platforms to better anticipate and respond to drone attacks at the border. Both countries will also work more closely together on extraditions, asset forfeiture, and investigations into fuel theft. The delegations agreed to meet again in January 2026.
