DHS & Mexico: Co-Management and Co-Responsibility

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Government of Mexico have a long history of extensive engagement based on the principles of co-management and co-responsibility for our shared border.  DHS partners with Mexico’s Secretariat of Foreign Affairs; Secretariat of Government, including Mexico’s Federal Police and National Institute of Migration; and Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit, including Mexico’s Tax Administration Service, to promote the legal movement of goods and people across our shared border and promote a safe and secure border region.
