As part of its U.S. Domestic Human Rights Program, Amnesty International launched the Born Suspect Campaign against the Patriot Act of 2003. This act allows U.S. law enforcement officials to use common physical characteristics–such as skin color, hair type and dress style–as predictors of criminal acts. The Born Suspect Campaign targets law officials and the general public to speak out against such violations of racial profiling to our U.S. Senators.
