The bill — sponsored by Rep. Schiff [D-CA-28] — aims to establish a reporting requirement for cases of transnational repression against United States persons, and for other purposes. Congress finds that a large number of diaspora communities have experienced a rise of incidents of intimidation, harassment, or, in some cases, violence in the United States. However, transnational repression against United States persons or persons in the United States appear to be on the rise particularly from India, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and China. It requests a report from the Attorney General including cases of alleged transnational repression originating from India, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and China. It was introduced and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
