The federal government would work with state and local law enforcement to identify and counter efforts by foreign governments to intimidate, threaten, or harm people living in the United States, including dissidents, activists, and journalists. The bill would provide resources, training, and coordination between federal agencies and local police to detect transnational repression activities like surveillance, harassment, and coercion directed at foreign nationals and U.S. citizens by hostile governments. This affects immigrants, political activists, and communities targeted by authoritarian regimes operating within U.S. borders.
