Dozens of groups seek N.J. probe of NYPD
Dozens of groups, including some that are faith-based and others that are student-led, have sent a letter asking New Jersey’s attorney general to investigate the New York Police Department’s monitoring of Muslims in Newark and other cities.
The call for an immediate investigation, sent Tuesday by 36 groups, mirrors requests made last week in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and elsewhere. The Association of Muslim American Lawyers, Islamic Information Center, and New Jersey Peace Action are among the groups that signed the letter. (Delli Santi, Associated Press)
