The ATF singled out black people and Latinos while conducting controversial stings in Chicago, according to a report released by the Justice Department.
The report found “strong, consistent and statistically significant evidence” of racial profiling.
Of the 94 people arrested during undercover stings in Chicago, 91% were black or hispanic.
The chances that agents didn’t racially profile was 0.1%, according to a Columbia Law School professor Jeffrey Fagan, who prepared the report.
The investigation concluded that “the ATF is discriminating on the basis of race.”
The ATF couldn’t be reached for comment this morning.
