The United States Commission on Civil Rights has released a report titled “The Federal Response to Anti-Asian Racism in the United States,” which assesses the increase in anti-Asian hate crimes in the U.S. from 2019 to 2021 and evaluates the federal government's role in addressing and enforcing hate crime laws. About the report: The report focuses on three main areas: national trends in hate incidents against Asian communities, the practices of local and state law enforcement in preventing and reporting hate crimes and federal efforts to encourage reporting and enforce hate crime prevention. As part of the study, the Commission conducted a public briefing on March 24, 2023, where experts and impacted individuals provided input.
