Minnesota state Rep. Walter Hudson has taken aim at a bill that would update the way the state government responds to and tracks “hate and bias incidents,” in which no crime may have actually been committed, calling it “problematic.”

The bill, HF 181, was first introduced in January this year by Rep. Samantha Vang, a member of the Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party, in an attempt to address what she said are “hate and bias incidents” that have soared during the COVID-19 pandemic against “Black Indigenous and people of color communities including Asian Americans.”
