The New York Police Department has identified entire mosques as terrorism organizations, allowing police to record sermons, spy on imams and use surveillance on those who attend prayer service, CBS News reports.
Although the NYPD has never criminally charged a mosque or Islamic organization, local police have launched at least a dozen so-called “terrorism enterprise investigations” targeting mosques, according to CBS News.
Documents obtained by CBS News show that many innocent New York Muslims were investigated and their names added to a secret police file.
By contrast, the FBI has not opened an enterprise investigation on a New York City mosque, CBS reports.
