FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 27, 2010

En Español >>

LAS VEGAS, NV – The American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada today asked the FBI’s Las Vegas Field Office to turn over records related to the agency’s collection and use of race and ethnicity data in local communities. While some racial and ethnic data collection by some agencies might be helpful in lessening discrimination, the FBI’s attempt to collect and map demographic data using race-based criteria for targeting purposes invites unconstitutional racial profiling by law enforcement, says the ACLU. Across the country, the ACLU has questioned this practice.

La ACLU ha cuestionado esta práctica por todo el país.
