This proposal would change the Homeland Security Act so the Department of Homeland Security puts extra focus on helping state and local police deal with “transnational repression” and any terrorism threats tied to it. In short, it tells DHS to prioritize strengthening local capabilities to address these specific threats.

Key points:

Who is affected: DHS and state and local law enforcement, and the communities they protect.
What changes: DHS must prioritize efforts that strengthen local police capabilities to counter transnational repression and related terrorism threats.
When: If it becomes law, DHS would be required to make this a priority; the text provided does not set a separate start date.
