(B) HSI, through its investigative authorities, works to deter, dismantle, and mitigate criminal enterprises and hostile foreign government actors engaged in transnational repression. (C) In October 2023, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) published a report that found agency actions are needed to address harassment of dissidents and other tactics of transnational repression in the United States. (D) According to GAO, several Federal agencies work to address transnational repression, including DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis, which works to produce intelligence that support Federal, State, and local government entities to develop protective and support measures in response to threats of transnational repression, as well as DHS’s Office of Partnership and Engagement (OPE), which meets with stakeholders and victims of transnational repression to understand the range of transnational repression activities in the United States. For example, DHS hosted a listening session in March 2022 with stakeholders to learn about issues facing communities in the United States. DHS has also issued reporting for State and local law enforcement agencies to raise awareness about acts of transnational repression. (E) DHS’s OPE also works to share available Federal resources to help disrupt threats of transnational repression against United States citizens, with Federal, State, local, Tribal, and international partners so they coordinate countering acts of transnational repression and preparing best practices.
