| Investigating
hate crimes—attacks motivated by bias—is
our top civil rights priority because of the terrible
toll it takes on communities and families. Details |
Those
sworn to protect and serve our country must themselves
uphold the law and the U.S. Constitution. We investigate “color
of law” abuses by public
officials, including use of excessive force. |
Human trafficking
is nothing less than modern-day slavery, often
preying on society’s most vulnerable members.

website for more information. |
It’s
a federal crime to interfere with a person’s
ability to obtain or provide reproductive health
services through violence or intimidation and to
damage property at these sites. Details |
The
FBI is the lead agency for investigating violations
of federal civil rights laws…and we take that
responsibility seriously. Why? Because as Director
Mueller has said, “When just one of us loses
just one of our rights, then the freedoms of all
of us are diminished.” Find out here how we
aggressively investigate and work to prevent hate
crime, color of law abuses, human trafficking, and
freedom of access to clinic entrances violations—the
four top priorities of our civil rights program.
And learn how you can report suspected abuses and
obtain assistance if you have been victimized.
