Since the Associated Press broke the story about the “Demographics Unit” and the NYPD’s extreme efforts to spy on and intimidate the New York Muslim community through predatory policing tactics, CAIR-NY has redoubled its efforts to educate the community about both their rights when engaging with law enforcement as well as the realities which they face as targets of a specific policy of repression and discrimination.
