WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats on Thursday urged the New York Police Department to purge its intelligence databases of information gleaned from its clandestine spying on Muslim neighborhoods.

They also criticized the Obama administration for offering tepid responses to questions about whether it endorses such tactics.

“New Jersey AG Validates NYPD Surveillance”

by IPT News • May 24, 2012 at 5:28 pm

SNIPPET: “New York police violated no laws when its officers traveled to New Jersey to conduct surveillance at mosques and Muslim businesses, New Jersey Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa has concluded after three months of review.

While the review continues, Chiesa was to meet with Muslim leaders Thursday to say he’s seen no violation of state law. In addition, the NYPD’s monitoring did not constitute racial profiling, an official in Chiesa’s office said. Rather, the official told The Record newspaper chain serving northern New Jersey, NYPD followed “legitimate law enforcement leads, intelligence received from around the world, and its experience in counterterrorism.”

Most of the NYPD’s surveillance in New Jersey was done on public streets, but led to a listing of all mosques and Muslim businesses in Newark.

Disclosures about the cross-state surveillance angered Muslim activists and several prominent New Jersey politicians, including Gov. Chris Christie.”

SNIPPET: “Muslim activists had demanded a formal investigation by both states and the Justice Department, but thus far, none has been launched.”
