Support a revision of the June 2003 Guidance Regarding the Use of Race by Federal Law Enforcement Agencies to clarify ambiguities, close loopholes, and eliminate provisions that allow for any form of racial or religious profiling. We believe the Department of Justice (DOJ) guidance must be strengthened by: "Including a prohibition on profiling on the basis of religion and national origin; "Eliminating loopholes that allow for profiling in the national security and border contexts; "Expanding the ban on profiling to include law enforcement surveillance activities; "Applying the Guidance to state and local law enforcement agencies that work in partnership with federal agents or receive federal funding; and "Including mechanisms for enforceability.End the FBI racial and ethnic mapping program. Targeting entire communities for investigation based on racial and ethnic stereotypes is unconstitutional and produces flawed intelligence. The FBI should focus on actual criminal suspects and national security threats, not mapping entire communities based on racial stereotypes. Revise the 2008 Mukasey Attorney General Guidelines and the Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide (DIOG), respectively, to require heightened levels of supervisory approval and factual predicates for investigations that implicate First Amendment protected activity, including the use of undercover agents or informants in places of worship. Clarify in the Guidelines and DIOG that race, ethnicity, national origin or religion should not be considered in deciding the scope and substance of domestic intelligence or other law enforcement activity, except when there is trustworthy information, relevant to the locality and timeframe, that links a person of a particular race, ethnicity, national origin, or religion to an identified criminal incident or scheme. Develop policies under which federal agencies, in particular DOJ and the Department of Homeland Security, use their authority under title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to condition funds to state and local law enforcement agencies on whether the agency has adopted a policy prohibiting the use of race, color, or national origin as a factor in their law enforcement activities, absent suspect-specific information that includes a racial or ethnic identifier. Require all state and local law enforcement agencies that receive federal funds to collect data on the use of race, ethnicity, religion, or national origin in their law enforcement activities. Engage in compliance reviews of select state and local law enforcement agencies to determine whether they are complying with their obligations under title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to be free from discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in all of their law enforcement activities. Undertake a comprehensive independent audit of all Transportation Security Administrations (TSA) screening processes to determine whether travelers are being profiled based on suspect classifications, including race, religion, ethnicity, and national origin, or that current screening factors are being used as proxies for the classifications above. Support the Smarter Sentencing Act of 2013 (S. 1410). Support the Arbitration Fairness Act of 2013 (AFA, H.R. 1844/S. 878).
