Witnesses
testified on racial profiling and state immigration laws in Alabama and
Arizona, relations between law enforcement and African-Americans, as
well as anti-terrorism efforts that target American Muslims. One of the
witnesses was Senator Benjamin Cardin (D-MD), who had introduced
legislation called the 'End Racial Profiling Act'. Witnesses also talked
about closing loopholes in the U.S. Department of Justice's racial
profiling guidance, and the Justice Department Civil Rights Division's
enforcement of federal civil rights laws to prevent profiling by state
and local law enforcement agencies.
