Attorney General Eric Holder, who has long spoken out against racial profiling, has been under pressure from civil- rights and civil-liberties groups to broaden rules put in place in 2003 that banned profiling based on race and ethnicity. The new guidelines will also prohibit profiling based on national origin, sexual orientation, and gender identity.
The new guidelines have nothing to do with race or ethnicity. The previous administration addressed those issues. It is readily apparent that those guidelines have not been followed and are being ignored by those who are empowered to enforce the law.
