Federal officials are investigating a shooting that wounded three people at a Korean-owned salon in Dallas last week as a potential hate crime, as local authorities say they believe the attack is connected to two earlier attacks at other Asian-run businesses.
The FBI's field office in Dallas, the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division and the US Attorney's Office for the Northern District in Texas announced the federal hate crime investigation in a statement Monday.
"We are in close communication with Dallas Police and are partnering together to thoroughly investigate this incident," the statement from the FBI Dallas Field Office said. "As this is an ongoing investigation, we are not able to comment further at this time."
President Joe Biden warned against a streak of “semi-isolationism” in the US as he stressed the importance of alliances during a symbolic visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery on Sunday, honoring the thousands of Americans who died in World War I at a site former President Donald Trump skipped during a 2018 visit to Paris.
Looking to shore up Latino votes in Nevada and Arizona for his reelection campaign, President Joe Biden is on the verge of soon following up last week’s executive action aimed at curbing border crossings with another move focused on providing legal status for long-term undocumented immigrants married to American citizens and without criminal records.
