Transparency & AccountabilityNo change to daily life — Homeland Security would send Congress secret reports on terror groups in close U.S. allies.
Transparency & Accountability
Homeland Security would write the reports with the State Department and spy agencies, then brief Congress. A new one would come every two years.
The reports would be secret, so the public could not read them. Any member of Congress, not just those on the security committees, could ask for a copy.
More about this bill
Most people would see no change in daily life. This creates a new reporting duty for federal agencies, not a change to any program you use. Homeland Security would have to size up terrorist groups operating inside close U.S. partner countries. These allies are not NATO members but hold a special defense status. The first report would be due 180 days after the bill becomes law, with another every two years. Each one would name the groups, describe what they do, and note any use of artificial intelligence. It would also judge how well Homeland Security can spot those threats. And it would say whether the agency can stop group members from entering the U.S. The reports would stay secret, though any member of Congress could ask to read one.
Congressional Summary
Major Non-NATO Ally Terror Threat Assessment ActThis bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to provide Congress with an assessment of terrorism threats to the United States posed by foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) present in countries operating or designated as major non-NATO allies.The assessment must include various elements, including (1) an identification of each FTO or SDGT present in each ally, (2) a description of all activities of each such FTO or SDGT within each ally, and (3) a description of efforts by the government of each ally to disrupt or degrade the activities of each such FTO or SDGT. There are currently 19 countries designated as major non-NATO allies (Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Morocco, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, South Korea, Thailand, and Tunisia). Additionally, while Taiwan is not designated as a major non-NATO ally, federal law provides that it be treated as one for certain purposes.
