"The drug crisis is killing Americans at unprecedented levels and any Mexican bill that limits the activities of DEA and U.S. law enforcement agency is unacceptable and will lead to more death and destruction in the U.S. and in Mexico." "This bill will compromise the relationships and the safety and security in Mexico and will put U.S. law enforcement and confidential sources at serious risk," Maltz continued. "The corruption in Mexico is rampant throughout the government and the bill will provide huge advantages to the transnational organized crime threats." For the past 12 years, Mexico City and Washington have intensified their partnership in a bid to stamp out the burgeoning narcotics trade, strengthening both law enforcement and prosecutorial capabilities. "This would not only be a serious blow to dedicated U.S. law enforcement but to the American public."
