U.S. Department of Justice Continues to Cloak Public Access to Guidelines on FBI Surveillance

(SAN FRANCISCO, CA) January 19, 2010--In an ongoing suit, Muslim Advocates filed an amended complaint against the Department of Justice today, asserting that critical passages of its Domestic Investigative Operational Guidelines (DIOGs) for FBI agents--which contain directives for gathering data on racial and religious communities and mosque infiltration--were redacted, and need to be made public.

View the disclosed version of the redacted Domestic Investigative Operational Guidelines:

DIOGs Part I
DIOGs Part II
DIOGs Part III
DIOGs Part IV

View specific sections in the DIOGs that address ethnic geo-mapping of communities and the use of 'undisclosed participants' (agent provocateurs) to spy on communities and congregations
