A latest Arab American Motion Community report in Illinois analyzed greater than 200 police paperwork. It discovered that suspicious exercise studies have criminalised Arabs and Muslims beneath the guise of “public security”. Additional investigation by the neighborhood group has revealed a disaster in racial profiling and surveillance of Arabs and Muslims in the USA.
