LAW ENFORCEMENT: Requests state and local law enforcement agencies to cooperate with federal authorities in discovering and closing clandestine branches of the Chinese Ministry of Public Security.
This Louisiana concurrent resolution urges state and local law enforcement agencies to cooperate with federal authorities in identifying and shutting down secret offices operated by the Chinese Ministry of Public Security. The measure is based on the premise that these locations function as transnational police stations that help the Chinese government locate and intimidate pro-democracy activists within the United States. By transmitting the resolution to the state police, sheriff's association, and chiefs of police, the legislature seeks to encourage local officers to assist in these investigations. The text frames these operations as violations of national sovereignty and a threat to American democratic rights.
