Grave
Concern Regarding Israeli Intelligence
in the U.S.
Washington, DC | www.adc.org
| September 7, 2010 - The American-Arab
Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC)
expresses grave concern over allegations
that Israeli Intelligence agents are
targeting Arab and Muslim Americans,
posing as U.S. Federal Agents. The
activity was recently reported in a Washington
Post Article by Jeff Stein. Such
activity will have a negative impact on
the trust between Arab and Muslim
Americans with the U.S. Federal
Government. ADC calls on the Department
of Justice,
Department of State, and other appropriate
Federal agencies to thoroughly investigate
any instances of individuals, including
foreign nationals, falsely identifying
themselves as a U.S.
government official.
ADC reminds community members,
citizens and non-citizens, that you are
entitled to have an attorney present in
the event someone who identifies himself
or herself as a government official and
approaches you for questioning. You do
not have to answer any question, and your
refusal to answer cannot be used against
you. You do not have to allow agents to
enter your home without a warrant. If the
agent claims to have a warrant please
demand to see it. Further, please ask to
see the credentials of the government
official, ask the agent’s name and a
business card, and call the FBI
Field Office and ask for
verification.
ADC will continue to monitor these
reports. If you or someone you know has
been approached by anyone identifying
himself or herself as a government
official, but you suspect or question the
identity of such official, please feel
free to contact the ADC Legal Department
