Requires new training for local police to fight foreign government threats against people in the U.S.
This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to create new training programs for local law enforcement across the country. These programs would help police identify and stop foreign governments from harassing or threatening people living in the U.S. It would also ensure communities targeted by these threats get support and information.
Today, the Department of Homeland Security is not explicitly required to provide specific training or community programs focused on countering transnational repression for local law enforcement. If this bill becomes law, DHS would be required to develop and offer specialized training programs for state, local, Tribal, and campus police, and conduct community briefings to help protect people from foreign government threats.
