U.S. Curbs Use of Racial Profiling
After years of criticism from civil-rights groups for singling out Muslims and Latinos, the Justice Department has expanded the definition of racial profiling to include religion, national origin, gender, and sexual orientation. Profiling has been banned since 2003, except in cases of national security, and did not encompass religion, ancestry, or other factors other than race.
