NJ Senator seeks US investigation of NYPD spying
U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez is asking federal authorities to investigate the New York Police Department’s surveillance of New Jersey’s Muslim communities.
In a letter Thursday to the U.S. attorney general and CIA director, he expresses concern over Associated Press reports that the NYPD spied on Muslims in Newark and monitored Muslim student groups.
He asks whether protocols were followed with regard to informing New Jersey law enforcement. (Associated Press)
