The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced an updated version of its anti-discrimination guidance for federal law enforcement on Thursday without major progressive provisions exposed by a series of reports by the Daily Caller.
Earlier this month, the Caller obtained internal draft documents showing the Justice Department’s plan to prevent federal officers from using crime statistics in law enforcement and limit the ability of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to infiltrate terrorist groups. A source who requested anonymity due to fear of professional retribution provided the documents to the Caller.
The new measures were part of the Justice Department’s draft proposal of its new guidance for federal law enforcement regarding the use of “Use of Race, Ethnicity, Gender, National Origin, Religion, Sexual Orientation, or Gender Identity.”
Daily Caller reporter James Lynch had first exposed the Justice Department’s proposal earlier this month, as follows:

A specific example cited in the documents is “high crime areas” typically subject to “aggressive law enforcement.” Directly or indirectly using protected characteristics to find suspects “reflects and invites bias,” making it prohibited by the proposed DOJ guidelines, docs show.
“[O]fficers and agents should not use statistics about arrest rates in particular communities when making decisions about where and how to focus their activities,” the guidelines say.

“Current and historical patterns of discriminatory law enforcement have led to higher rates of arrest in certain communities, particularly African American communities,” the DOJ guidance continues.

Crime statistics are “inherently biased and unreliable” and using them “reproduces the very discrimination” the DOJ policy is designed to eliminate, according to the DOJ.
