The Senate Concurrent Resolution No. by Senator Fesi urges state and local law enforcement agencies in Louisiana to collaborate with federal authorities to identify and dismantle clandestine branches of the Chinese Ministry of Public Security operating as secret police stations in the United States. This resolution is prompted by recent arrests related to a covert police station in New York City, which was allegedly established to assist the Chinese government in locating and suppressing pro-democracy activists and dissidents. The resolution highlights the broader issue of "transnational repression" by the Chinese government, which seeks to intimidate and silence critics abroad, thereby violating U.S. national sovereignty and democratic principles.
The resolution calls for a unified effort among law enforcement agencies to support the U.S. Department of Justice in protecting American democracy and institutions. It emphasizes the need for vigilance against foreign interference and the importance of safeguarding the rights and liberties that define the nation. A copy of the resolution will be sent to relevant state law enforcement organizations to ensure awareness and action on this critical issue.
