Greg Stanton of Arizona introduced the American Cooperation with Our Neighbors Act, legislation to increase cooperation between law enforcement, local governments, and non-governmental organizations in the United States and Mexico to combat trafficking of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids. “The crisis of fentanyl-related deaths in the U.S. has reached a fever pitch that demands a new, comprehensive regional strategy—one that cuts off the supply of fentanyl flowing into our communities while slowing the violence and corruption that trafficking fuels in Mexico,” Stanton, a member of House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, said. Stanton’s legislation would require the Secretary of State and Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development to submit a strategy to Congress to strengthen and improve: Law enforcement cooperation at the subnational level, including bolstering technological assistance for agencies, professional development exchanges, and enhanced data sharing; Coordination and dialogue between local governments, civil society, faith-based organizations and business community leaders; Capacity building and provide additional resources for border towns to meet local needs. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T23:44:29Z |
