I wrote about that classification in 2011 for Taki’s.
Michigan hip-hop group Insane Clown Posse are suing the Justice Department and the FBI, claiming their fans were classified by the government as gang members and then unlawfully harassed by police, leading to ‘significant harm.’
The suit, filed Wednesday in Federal District Court in Detroit, accuses the government of making the ‘unwarranted and unlawful decision’ to issue a National Gang Threat dubbing the fans a ‘loosely organized hybrid gang.’ It is being jointly filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan.
