“The New York City Police Department’s heavily-criticized spying on Muslim residents did not produce any leads or help any investigations of terrorist activities, in a report a civil rights group calls a ‘vindication’ of the city’s Muslim community.

The department initially denied the unit’s very existence after initial reports on it last August.”
