Description

A first-of-its-kind report, The Mainstreaming of Hate documents the growing problem of harassment, hate violence, and law enforcement abuse against Latinos in the U.S. In this report, NCLR exposes some of the primary areas in which egregious cases of violence and abuse are increasingly found. It also notes that the main perpetrators of these crimes are not just traditional or the most commonly-known hate groups (e.g., Aryan Nation, Ku Klux Klan, militia groups). Now, they also include those in law enforcement whose job it is to serve and protect Hispanics and other Americans.
