Establishes a U.S. policy and a set of actions to prevent and respond to transnational repression—efforts by foreign governments or their agents to intimidate, harass, or harm people beyond their borders. It defines transnational repression, requires a whole-of-government strategy and annual updates, mandates training for diplomacy and domestic-threat staff, and directs law enforcement guidance and outreach; it also authorizes funding for these activities in fiscal year 2026.
