Law Enforcement Support and Counter Transnational Repression Act
This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to launch a public service campaign educating the public and international allies about transnational repression - when foreign governments harass, threaten, or retaliate against people in the U.S. to coerce them or punish exercise of rights. The campaign must provide resources for victims, including anonymous FBI reporting options, and operate in relevant languages. It also mandates research into technologies to help law enforcement counter these threats while respecting privacy and civil liberties. The bill directly affects victims of transnational repression and federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies.
