Part of the 7,000 emails released to the Baltimore Sun reveals the MCAC Data Hub and DHS tracking former Black Panther leader Malik Shabazz during the Baltimore riots.

BALTIMORE – Officials in Maryland worried that out-of-town protest leader Malik Shabazz would incite violence at a protest planned the weekend after rioting wracked Baltimore, newly released documents show, and had been monitoring his activities in the city for a week..

Shabazz, the president of Washington-based Black Lawyers for Justice and former leader of the New Black Panther Party, came to Baltimore to help lead protests, and his activities were closely watched by city officials, the documents show.

A bulletin sent out by the Maryland Coordination and Analysis Center, a group that circulates information between federal and local law enforcement, warned police officers to be on their guard ahead of a planned protest led by Shabazz on May 2.

“Until 2013 Shabazz served as the chairman of the NBPP, a prominent black separatist group that espouses violence and criminal activity to further separatist, racist, anti-Semitic agenda, according to the FBI.” (read more)
