New Justice Department rules on racial profiling by the FBI will reportedly keep a number of controversial tactics in place. The New York Times reports Attorney General Eric Holder’s proposed revisions would preserve many, if not all, policies opposed by civil rights groups. These include mapping ethnic communities and using that information to launch probes and recruit informants. The changes would, however, abandon a Bush-era exemption for racial profiling in cases deemed to concern national security. They would also expand the definition of illegal profiling to include religion, national origin, gender and sexual orientation.
