By Alliance Alert

ADVERTISEMENTS
Boston Globe: "US Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz announced yesterday that she is forming a team of prosecutors to focus on civil rights cases, including hate crimes, human trafficking, police misconduct, damage to religious property, and employment discrimination . . . She made the announcement after the FBI hosted a conference in Boston to educate some 160 law enforcement officials, prosecutors, and community organizations about changes in the federal hate crimes law that expanded it to include protections for gays, lesbians, and transgender people. The law had already been used to prosecute crimes based on race and religion."
