This bill, while containing several worthwhile proposals, should not be mistaken for what is needed. The FIRST STEP Act is not sentencing reform, and the concern -- a very valid concern -that enactment of this legislation will allow some lawmakers to say that they have addressed our nations problem of over-incarceration leads the NAACP to oppose this legislation. While we understand the temptation to support legislation that endeavors to reform our prison system, we believe that this particular bill would do more harm than good and would have unintended consequences that ripple into the future.

Support DoJ and all public officials using their bully pulpit to call out attacks on individuals because of who they are at every opportunity. The Department must send loud, clear, and consistent messages that violent bigotry is unacceptable - and ensure that the FBI and the Civil Rights Division will enforce federal law and vigorously investigate and prosecute hate crimes.

Support DoJ ensuring implementation and compliance with the Death in Custody Reporting Act. DoJ must also advance the FBIs National Use of Force database. Support DoJ undertaking a comprehensive research study to understand gaps in hate crime reporting by law enforcement agencies, including why law enforcement agencies dont report, barriers to reporting by hate crime victims, and identification of best practices in hate crime training, data collection, and reporting Support DoJ seeking budget authority for grants authorized under Section 4704 of the HCPA, which are intended to promote federal coordination and support for bias-motivated criminal investigations and prosecutions by state, local, and tribal law enforcement officials Support budget authority for the Justice Departments Community Relations Service to allow for the hiring of new professionals to help mediate, train, and facilitate in communities with intergroup tensions and in the aftermath of hate crimes Support DoJ opposing legislation to add police, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, or other first responders to federal hate crime laws Support DoJ promoting anti-bias education, hate crime prevention, and properly crafted anti-bullying, cyberbullying, and harassment education and training initiatives.

The Department should highlight the availability of the FBIs hate crime training manual that included particularized attention to identifying and combatting hate crimes directed against marginalized, targeted communities, including LGBT people, Muslims, Arabs, Sikhs, and Hindus Support DoJ continuing its enforcement of its civil rights statutes that protect the rights of religious communities to build places of worship and practice their religions safely Support DoJ reaffirming its commitment to implicit bias training for all federal law enforcement officials and expand that training to include local law enforcement Support DoJ developing and promoting cultural competency trainings Support DoJ undertaking a thorough review of all trainings and trainers; those that are found to be biased and bigoted must be revoked and all personnel who went through those trainings must be retrained. Each step of this process must use professional standards and always include engagement of the impacted communities in question Support reserving the use of community corrections for only those who truly require supervision Support reducing lengths of stay under community supervision to only as long as necessary to accomplish the goals of sentencing Support exercising parsimony in the use of supervision conditions to no more conditions than required to achieve the objectives of supervision Support incentivizing progress on probation and parole by granting early discharge for those who exhibit significant progress Support eliminating or significantly curtailing charging supervision fees and instead Support preserving most or all of the savings from reducing probation and parole populations and focusing those resources on improving community based services and supports for people under supervision Oppose establishing a team of federal prosecutors dedicated to pursuing drug convictions Oppose S. 276 and S. 295; oppose efforts to divide the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Oppose nomination of Judge David Stras to serve on the US Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit Support amendments to Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations bills which prevent the proposed expansion of civil forfeiture by the federal government.
