9/9 Looking ahead: Biden should order all Federal law enforcement agencies to adopt & put in place process to monitor implementation. They need to show that the new std isn't simply the old std in different words & improve their record of targeting communities of color.

1/9 Today DOJ released a revised racial profiling policy, as part of a slew of actions required by President Biden's EO of a year ago. The policy is pretty long and requires thorough analysis, but here are a few initial thoughts.

8/9 Implementation will be key. Not clear what, if anything, was done to operationalize 2014 guidance. This one has important benchmarks & designated implementation coordinator. DOJ seems serious about this part, which is good.

[Brennan Center @BrennanCenter]

DOJ has made some upgrades to its racial profiling policy, but the new rules leave too much room for bias, says @faizapatelBCJ. "Too many Americans will still experience discrimination unless the department ensures this grey area isn’t abused." https://t.co/rj5rV7BOCr

Today @FaizaPatelBCJ & I detail challenges the NYPD Inspector General faces in effectively overseeing the police: its reporting has waned, it lacks a permanent leader, the police have stonewalled investigations, & its influence & autonomy have declined. https://t.co/7mn6FWIFFw

[Just Security @just_security]

The US government's depiction of domestic #counterterrorism efforts is misleading, write @FaizaPatelBCJ and Charles Kurzman.

Based on information from a FOIA lawsuit, the authors identify problems with how @TheJusticeDept handles these types of cases.

Judge Moss found that 19 out of 20 cases he reviewed did not involve terrorism but were mostly personal disputes, concluding that the government’s representation of its counterterrorism efforts is “vastly overstated.”

"New Yorkers deserve a police department that keeps them safe and isn’t afraid to be held accountable," @FaizaPatelBCJ and @iveydyson. write. "Without a strong inspector general, that’s not what they’ll get" https://t.co/gieEZub14L
