Watch Live: House Judiciary hearing on violence and discrimination against Asian Americans

A House Judiciary subcommittee is holding a hearing Thursday focused on the rise of violence and discrimination against Asian Americans. The hearing will feature testimony from Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois and Democratic Congresswomen Grace Meng of New York, as well as Doris Matsui and Judy Chu of California.

The hearing comes amid a spike in assaults on Asian Americans nationwide. A report released this week said the Stop AAPI Hate reporting center received nearly 3,800 reports of hate incidents, including verbal harassment, shunning and physical assault, from March 19, 2020, to February 28 this year.
