District Court of Appeals. which is extremely notable because it is the court from which many U.S. Supreme Court Justices have risen. and we know that it is only a matter of time before we have our first Asian American Supreme Court Justice. In addition to working to diversify our Federal workforce. we in CAPAC have the privilege to advocate for the priorities and concerns of Asian Pacific Americans on a broad range of issues. from combating racial profiling. to keeping immigrant families together through comprehensive immigration reform. to ensuring that all Americans can access the ballot box and have a voice in our democracy. Today far too many in the Asian Pacific American community are being profiled because of the way they look or the religion they practice. and whether they are Chinese Americans who are being singled out for economic espionage or are Muslim or Sikh Americans who are wrongfully perceived as terrorists. we know that profiling creates a culture of suspicion that not only breeds mistrust. but that also endangers the lives and livelihoods of innocent Americans. Take the recent case of a Chinese American scientist who was wrongly targeted as a spy for China.
