National Law Enforcement Officers Remembrance, Support and Community Outreach Act. [sic]

This bill temporarily directs the Department of the Interior to award a grant to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund for the expenses associated with operating and enhancing the community outreach, public education, and officer safety and wellness programs of the National Law Enforcement Museum.

This bill eliminates certain statutory restrictions on U.S. security assistance to Cyprus, Greece, and Turkey.

For example, the bill eliminates requirements that the President

• as a condition of transferring defense articles to Cyprus, annually certify to Congress that Cyprus is taking certain actions with regards to money laundering, financial regulatory oversight, and denying refueling and servicing to Russian military vessels; and

• when requesting certain security assistance funds from Congress for Greece and Turkey, certify that providing such assistance is compatible with specified principles that support U.S. policy in the region (e.g., that such security assistance is intended solely for defensive purposes and preserves the balance of military strength among countries of the region).

Advanced Border Coordination Act of 2025

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to establish at least two Joint Operations Centers along the U.S.-Mexico border. The centers shall provide centralized operations hubs for (1) coordinating operations between federal, state, local, and tribal agencies as needed; and (2) coordinating and supporting border operations, including detecting criminal activity, such as activity related to transnational criminal organizations and illegal border crossings.

This resolution states that the government of the United Kingdom should enter into negotiations with the government of Greece to facilitate the return of the Parthenon Marbles to Greece. (The Parthenon Marbles are marble sculptures that were removed from the Parthenon in the early 19th century when it was under Ottoman rule and later transferred to the British Museum.)

This resolution condemns Turkey's continued occupation of Cyprus and calls on Turkey to withdraw all of its troops from the island. It also calls on Turkey to adhere to NATO's democratic principles and mission.
