The Gang Activity Reporting Act of 2025 requires the Attorney General, working with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the FBI Director, to submit annual reports to Congress detailing gang activity and law enforcement response across the United States. The first report must be submitted within 150 days of the bill's enactment, with subsequent reports due by the end of each fiscal year thereafter. Each report must include detailed information on gang growth over the past decade, criminal methods and networks, state-level reporting issues affecting federal data collection, federal initiatives to combat gangs, resources dedicated to gang enforcement, arrest and seizure statistics, and any changes to data collection procedures. The bill reflects Congress's concern that outdated gang data—with the most recent comprehensive assessment from 2011—hampers effective policymaking, particularly given a reported 30 percent increase in murders since 2020. The agencies may classify sensitive portions of the reports as needed for national security purposes.
