Stop TNR Act of 2026

This bill defines "transnational repression" in federal law as efforts by a foreign government, or its agents or proxies, to harass, threaten, coerce, or kill people in the United States or U.S. persons. A person convicted of a federal crime who knowingly committed such an act as part of that crime could receive up to 10 additional years in prison and an additional fine of up to $100,000. The Justice Department would centralize oversight of these prosecutions in its National Security Division and of investigations in the FBI. The bill also requires the U.S. Sentencing Commission to update its guidelines, annual public reports and in-person briefings to Congress, a strategy and public education campaign on the use of artificial intelligence in transnational repression, and a review of sanctions, visa, aid, and export tools to respond to it.
