S.2525

Transnational Repression Policy Act aims to combat transnational repression by foreign governments against individuals in the U.S.

The Transnational Repression Policy Act establishes U.S. policy to address transnational repression, defined as tactics by foreign governments to intimidate, silence, or harm individuals abroad. The Act mandates the Department of State to develop a strategy to recognize and prevent transnational repression, including funding for civil society organizations supporting victims. It also requires training for federal, state, and local law enforcement on transnational repression tactics and practices.
