CAIR-Oregon: Task force member Zakir Khan, board chair of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, called SB 577-1 “a good first step in a series of steps that needs to happen to counter White nationalism here in Oregon.”

“This would greatly improve data collection from police departments statewide, so there would be an organized scheme created and worked on by the criminal justice system,” Khan told The Skanner. “District attorneys will now track hate crimes cases as well, to make sure there’s an accountability mechanism.”

But Khan was disappointed that a gun addendum didn’t make it into this draft of the bill.
