We’ve examined long about the security worry of running SELinux in a lenient mode in our post to Root Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It’s quite genuine from the security perspective.
Chainfire has quite recently made a return with root for Marshmallow and updated beta of SuperSU (v2.50), which joined with modified boot pictures, can root your Nexus device while keeping SELinux in Enforcing mode.
On account of Chainfire however, you would now be able to root your Nexus device on Marshmallow with SELinux in Enforcing mode. All you’ve to do is flash the modified boot.img file first, and after that flash the SuperSU v2.52 by means of TWRP recovery.
Chainfire has given modified boot.img to all Nexus devices which got the MRA58K Android 6.0 update.
