The bill would authorize the Secretary of State to establish a program assisting law enforcement agencies in eligible Latin American and Caribbean countries in collecting information on, disrupting, and prosecuting PRC-linked transnational criminal organizations. Assistance could include consultations, training, technical support, and vetting programs, coordinated with the Attorney General and, when appropriate, the Director of National Intelligence. Within one year of enactment, the Director of National Intelligence, in coordination with the Secretary of State, would report to specified congressional committees on assistance provided and PRC-linked criminal activity.
