Hate Crimes Against Muslims: NYPD Officers Request Meeting With Trump After Spike In Racist Attacks

A group of Muslim New York City police officers, including one who was the victim of an alleged hate crime earlier this month, have requested a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump for “guidance on how they will be protected” in the wake of such crimes.

In a letter to Trump, Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams wrote of the heightened tensions following the “long and arduous national elections” which manifested into “a disturbing and dangerous pattern of hate crimes in big cities and small towns across America.”
