Answer 1

By investigating people and companies who violate federal laws, including federal civil rights laws.

Also, hopefully, by following civil rights laws themselves.

Answer 2

I can't think of anything recent but they did do a lot to investigate civil rights violations in the 1950s and 1960s. Good luck, that wouldn't be my favorite! But the civil rights era is interesting.

Congress gave the FBI new federal laws with which to fight civil rights violations, racketeering, and gambling. These new laws included the Civil Rights Acts of 1960 and 1964; the 1961 Crimes Aboard Aircraft Act; an expanded Federal Fugitive Act; and the Sports Bribery Act of 1964.

Up to this time, the interpretation of federal civil rights statutes by the Supreme Court was so narrow that few crimes, however heinous, qualified to be investigated by federal agents. I found this. Do some more searches using some of the terms below.

"The turning point in federal civil rights actions occurred in the summer of 1964, with the murder of voting registration workers Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman, and James Chaney near Philadelphia, Mississippi. At the Department of Justice's request, the FBI conducted the investigation as it had in previous, less-publicized racial incidents. The case against the perpetrators took years to go through the courts. Only after 1966, when the Supreme Court made it clear that federal law could be used to prosecute civil rights violations, were seven men found guilty. By the late 1960s, the confluence of unambiguous federal authority and local support for civil rights prosecutions allowed the FBI to play an influential role in enabling African Americans to vote, serve on juries, and use public accommodations on an equal basis".

Answer 3

Well they are supposed to go after officials for public corruption, and using their power for self gain. If you want more info go to their website. They could tell you more of what they are supposed to do. They are supposed to be the police for the police and handle any federal laws that have been committed.But with all the police and public corruption,its kinda of hard to say they protect civil rights. Seems as though they are just as corrupt as police. But have more resources and technology.

Answer 4

I think you got that backwards. The FBI goes out of its way at any opportunity to take away our civil rights. The FBI and the current administration have no interest in following the legacy and meaning of the bill of rights, out fist 10 ammendments.

Answer 5

Quit cheating and get to studying, civil rights crimes violate the federal law so they enforce the law

Answer 6

It's not the F.B.I. that protects civil rights.

It's the A.C.L.U. that protects civil rights.
