WASHINGTON – The American Civil Liberties Union and Asian Americans
Advancing Justice | AAJC administratively appealed the FBI’s decision to
close their joint FOIA request for records related to the “China Initiative
” on Wednesday. The “China Initiative” is a wide-ranging government
effort to scrutinize, investigate, prosecute, and take other measures
against U.S.-based scientists and researchers believed to have connections
to China. The FBI has played a central role in the “China Initiative.”
The “China Initiative” has been framed in dangerous, overbroad terms since
its inception. The initiative was accompanied by xenophobic, anti-China
rhetoric from the Trump White House, as well as public statements by the FBI
director that cast suspicion on virtually anyone with family or
professional ties to China — including thousands of accomplished Asian
American and immigrant scientists who have contributed to our country for
years. These statements have encouraged racial profiling and discrimination,
including within the FBI.
The FBI did not identify or release any records in response to the ACLU and
Advancing Justice | AAJC’s FOIA request. The agency stated that it closed
the request because its Central Records System “is not arranged in a manner
that allows for the retrieval of information” that the request identified.
The ACLU and Advancing Justice | AAJC’s administrative appeal explains why
this response is improper and why the FBI is required to conduct an
adequate search for the records described in the request.
Gisela Kusakawa, the NAPABA Law Foundation Community Law Fellow at Advancing
Justice | AAJC, said: “We continue to be deeply troubled by the government
’s overreach. Too many Asian American and immigrant scientists,
particularly of Chinese descent, have faced heightened scrutiny from federal
law enforcement—ranging from mass investigations and surveillance to
unjust prosecutions. As a result of these activities, Asian American and
immigrant scientists have lost their research funding, suffered employment
backlash, are being deterred from leading grant proposals, and have
experienced life-long trauma and severe financial hardships. We are calling
for transparency from our government to provide the information requested to
address these very serious concerns of racial profiling causing widespread
fear of targeting within the Asian American community.”
Charlie Hogle, a legal fellow with the ACLU’s National Security Project,
said: “The FBI has spent years aggressively pursuing and promoting its ‘
China Initiative,’ with devastating consequences for many Asian American
and immigrant scientists. The FBI’s claim that it can’t retrieve any
records related to those efforts is implausible and unacceptable. The law
requires the FBI to find and produce the requested records, which will shed
light on this discriminatory campaign.”
The “China Initiative” has caused, and continues to cause, serious harm to
people in the scientific research community, especially Asian American and
immigrant scientists. It also raises serious civil liberties concerns.
Government policies that single out scientists or students for adverse
treatment based on their race, ethnicity, or national origin are
unconstitutional. | l******t
