DOJ to expand rules that restrict racial and other profiling

Thursday, January 16, 2014  

The Department of Justice will expand rules that restrict the use of racial profiling by federal agents, The New York Times reports.

The rules will prohibit agents from considering race, religion, national origin, gender and sexual orientation, the paper said. Previously, race was the only factor under a policy first instituted during the Bush administration.

It's not known when the changes will be announced.
