The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on May 20 announced new initiatives worth $10 million to curb hate crimes and other “bias-related incidents.”

This comes just days after the House passed legislation to authorize dedicated offices within U.S. federal government departments to monitor domestic terrorism and hate crimes.
