The working group must assess and annually report on current DHS efforts to counter the CCP’s (1) use of the U.S. immigration system, (2) economic and trade practices, and (3) support for illicit financial activity and trafficking controlled substances. The working group must terminate seven years after its establishment. DHS must additionally carry out research and development on technologies and techniques for enhancing its security and situational awareness to these threats. The Government Accountability Office must report on the implementation of this bill.
