passage of a law that limits killing of Americans !!
After a series
of high-profile attacks on Asian Americans in the wake of the emerging “Corona” virus pandemic, US President Joe Biden ratified the Hate Crimes Act (Covid-19) passed by Congress.
Biden said, “Silence is complicity and we cannot be complicit. We have to talk, we have to act, and that’s what I did. I can’t thank you enough, I’m proud today.”
idea of the law, sponsored by Democratic Senator Mazi Hirono and Democratic Representative Grace Ming, is appointing an employee of the US Department of Justice to expedite review of hate crimes reported to the police during the (Covid-19) pandemic.
law also provides guidance for state and local law enforcement agencies to report hate crimes, expand public education campaigns and issue guidelines to combat discriminatory language in describing the epidemic
