WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Joe Biden on Thursday signed into law the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act that passed Congress in a rare show of bipartisanship following a spate of high-profile attacks on Asian Americans in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cSilence is complicity and we cannot be complicit. We have to speak out. We have to act. That\u2019s what you\u2019ve done. And I can\u2019t thank you enough,\u201d Biden said. \u201cI\u2019m proud today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bill, sponsored by Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono and Democratic Representative Grace Meng, designates a Justice Department employee to expedite a review of hate crimes reported to police during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

It would also provide guidance for state and local law enforcement agencies to report hate crimes, expand public education campaigns and issue guidance to combat discriminatory language in describing the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Reports of violence against Asian Americans have spiked since the beginning of the pandemic. Activists and police said anti-Asian sentiment was fed by comments from former President Donald Trump blaming the pandemic on China, using terms such as \u201ckung flu.\u201d<\/p>\n
