NYPD Spying Program Aimed at Muslims

"On Monday, AP detailed how the NYPD spied on numerous Muslim students and their campus organizations. In particular, 'police trawled daily through student websites run by Muslim student groups at Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, Rutgers and 13 other colleges in the Northeast' and 'talked with local authorities about professors in Buffalo and even sent an undercover agent on a whitewater rafting trip, where he recorded students’ names and noted in police intelligence files how many times they prayed.' The dossiers noted the names of Muslim student leaders and even stored emails sent and received by some of them. All this, even though the 'documents mention no wrongdoing by any students.'"
