NAPA Slams new Profiling Curbs by Obama administration

Dec. 10 Crime Comments

[Washington DC]NAPA strongly condemned the loose drafting of Obama administration for new guidelines on Monday Charging That It restricts the ability of federal law enforcement agencies to profile on the basis of religion+ national origin + other characteristics.
Satnam Singh Chahal executive director North American Punjabi Association (NAPA) ,in a press release ,said that the addition of religion, national origin and other characteristics to the guidance is a sign of progress and we welcome the broader protections, but were disappointed that the guidance will exempt security screening in airports and border checkpoints and won’t be binding on local and state police agencies.. However, these additions remain only a symbolic gesture if, according to reports, the DOJ keeps carve-outs for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and Customs and Border Enforcement (CBP) to discriminate at airports and the US border, and allows the FBI to ‘map’ minority communities to place informants.
This guidance is not an adequate response to the crisis of racial profiling in America
