HUMINT (Human Intelligence) is a fantastic tool for obtaining data for diverse purposes. HUMINT operatives have contact with information that isn't available anywhere else. Using citizens as a source of communication involves a particular set of abilities. While it may not be as effective as other information professions, it does allow admission to exclusive data that could be just as important. Because of the Sinaloa Cartel's clandestine activities, the war on drugs, for example, may profit significantly from the use of Human Intelligence collecting. The Sinaloa Cartel recruits personnel from within the United States, creating focused information compilation through other means more complex. The establishment of new entry points into the Sinaloa Cartel's supply chain that the Drug Enforcement Administration can later abuse can be a helpful instrument in the drug conflict.

The DEA is also responsible for enforcing the Controlled Substances Act, which classifies pharmaceuticals based on their potential for abuse and therapeutic usefulness under Title 21 of the United States Code (USC). The Controlled Drugs Act (CSA) establishes standards for manufacturing and allocating such substances. The DEA will continue to be governed by Title 5 of the United States Code, including the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act of 1974. These two measures assist in protecting people's privacy while enabling them access to executive branch agency records.[Executive Order 11727.

Furthermore, both the US and Mexico are bound by the Letter of Agreement they symboled in 2008 when they agreed to the Merida Initiative. The Merida effort recognizes "the United States and Mexico's joint responsibility in combating drug-fueled violence that threatens civilians on both sides of the border.". Despite the fact that the Merida Initiative does not have straight services or law enforcement actions, it will have an impact on bilateral collaboration.[McDermott, W. T. (2020, March 3).
