Book excerpt: Ten years after the Mexican government launched an aggressive, military-led campaign against drug trafficking and organized crime, violent crime continues to threaten citizen security and governance in parts of Mexico, including in cities along the U.S. Southwest border. Organized crime-related violence in Mexico declined from 2011 to 2014 but rose in 2015 and again in 2016. Analysts estimate that the violence may have claimed more than 100,000 lives since December 2006. Social protests in Mexico against education reform and gas price increases have also resulted in deadly violence. High-profile cases, including the enforced disappearance and murder of 43 students in Mexico, have drawn attention to the problem of human rights abuses involving security forces. Cases of corruption by former governors, some of whom have fled Mexico, also have increased concerns about impunity. Supporting Mexico's efforts to reform its criminal justice system is widely regarded as crucial for combating criminality and better protecting citizen security in the country. U.S. support for those efforts has increased significantly as a result of the development and implementation of the M�rida Initiative, a bilateral partnership launched in 2007 for which Congress appropriated more than $2.6 billion from FY2008 to FY2016. U.S. assistance to Mexico focuses on: (1) disrupting organized criminal groups, (2) institutionalizing the rule of law, (3) creating a 21st-century border, and (4) building strong and resilient communities. Newer areas of focus have involved bolstering security along Mexico's southern border and addressing the production and trafficking of heroin. As of November 2016, $1.6 billion of M�rida assistance had been delivered to Mexico. Inaugurated to a six-year term in December 2012, Mexican President Enrique Pe�a Nieto has continued U.S.-Mexican security cooperation. U.S. intelligence has helped Mexico arrest top crime leaders, including Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman in February 2014. Guzm�n's July 2015 prison escape was a major setback for bilateral efforts, but he was recaptured in 2016 and is scheduled to be extradited. The Pe�a Nieto government met a 2008 constitutional mandate to transition to an accusatorial justice system by June 2016 but has struggled to comply with international recommendations on preventing torture, enforced disappearances, and other human rights abuses. Mexico's adoption of a national anticorruption system and its transition from a presidentially appointed attorney general's office to a more independent prosecutor general's office selected by the Mexican Senate have become the focus of efforts to combat corruption. The U.S. Congress has continued to fund and oversee security assistance to Mexico. Congress provided $139 million in FY2016 for the M�rida Initiative in P.L. 114-113, some $20 million above the budget request. President Obama's FY2017 budget request included $129 million for the M�rida Initiative. The House Appropriations Committee version of the FY2017 foreign operations measure, H.R. 5912, would have provided $149 million for the M�rida Initiative. The Senate Appropriations Committee version, S. 3117, would have fully funded the Administration's request for Mexico. The 114th Congress did not complete action on FY2017 appropriations, but in December 2016 it approved a continuing resolution (P.L. 114-254) providing foreign aid funding to Mexico through April 28, 2017, at the FY2016 level, minus an across-the-board reduction of almost 0.2%. As a result, the 115th Congress is to consider both FY2017 and FY2018 appropriations for Mexico and the M�rida Initiative.

Book excerpt: Brazen violence perpetrated by drug trafficking organizations and other criminal groups is threatening citizen security and governance in some parts of Mexico, a country with which the United States shares a nearly 2,000 mile border and $500 billion in annual trade. Although the violence in Mexico has generally declined since late 2011, analysts estimate that it may have claimed more than 60,000 lives between December 2006 and November 2012. The violence has increased U.S. concerns about stability in Mexico, a key political and economic ally, and about the possibility of violence spilling over into the United States. U.S.-Mexican security cooperation increased significantly as a result of the development and implementation of the Merida Initiative, a counterdrug and anticrime assistance package for Mexico and Central America first funded in FY2008. Whereas U.S. assistance initially focused on training and equipping Mexican counterdrug forces, it now places more emphasis on addressing the weak institutions and underlying societal problems that have allowed the drug trade to flourish in Mexico. The Merida strategy now focuses on (1) disrupting organized criminal groups, (2) institutionalizing the rule of law, (3) creating a 21st century border, and (4) building strong and resilient communities. As part of the Merida Initiative, the Mexican government pledged to intensify its anticrime efforts and the U.S. government pledged to address drug demand and the illicit trafficking of firearms and bulk currency to Mexico.

Book excerpt: The Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs) power and control have paralyzed the populace and local governments within the northern Mexican and southern U.S. states, disrupting everyday life. The emboldened increase and severity of DTO violence has created the impetus for the U.S. and Mexican governments to set aside traditional views and mistrust to work in partnership, making both countries safer and improving the quality of life for their citizens. While inroads have been made over the past three years, this cooperation is at a crossroads. In March 2010, the Mérida Initiative goals were revised to emphasize the critical issue of not only reducing the supply of illegal drugs, but the demand as well. This reorientation goes beyond providing U.S. equipment and expertise; it aims to strengthen individuals, groups, and institutions in a holistic approach that is consistent with the current National Security Strategy. Both countries will enter their respective presidential election cycles in 2011. This crucial juncture is the optimal moment to create irreversible momentum and enact, emplace, and execute a whole-of-government approach to suppress both the demand and supply of illegal drugs in the U.S. and Mexico in order to defeat the DTOs.
