• CAIR Action Alert: Tell Congress that Immigration Reform Should Ban All Forms of Profiling
  CAIR welcomes the recent immigration reform bill, S. 744, which provides a pathway to citizenship for the nation's 11 million undocumented immigrants. Section 3305 of the bill is a valuable first step that requires expansion to protect the rights of all Americans from racial profiling by law enforcement – a problem that disproportionately impacts immigrant and minority communities. While banning the use of race or ethnicity by federal law enforcement officers, S. 744 fails to prohibit profiling based on religion or national origin and includes troubling exemptions in cases of national security and border protection.

Leaders noted a larger, broader chorus of Americans warning against placing collective blame.
