On Tuesday, March 11, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, plans to release its annual civil rights report during a news conference at its Capitol Hill headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Titled “Unconstitutional Crackdowns,” the report documents a continued rise in complaints of Islamophobia, as well as new trends never documented in the organization’s 30-year history. The report details dozens of specific incidents of bias and offers recommendations for public officials to consider in light of new data findings.

Since 1996, CAIR’s annual reports on the status of American Muslim civil rights document anti-Muslim incidents that were reported to CAIR in any given year. The report usually includes sections on specific civil rights and civil liberties issues confronting Americans of the Islamic faith in the year under review.
