WASHINGTON (JTA) — Extremists increasingly are targeting Hispanic immigrants, the Anti-Defamation League said in a report.

ADL National Director Abraham Foxman presented the report Monday at the group’s national leadership conference in Washington, together with La Raza, a national Hispanic rights groups.

“The dangerous and disturbing trend of white supremacists and racist skinheads to demonize and attack Hispanic Americans and undocumented immigrants is compounded, unfortunately, by the natural reluctance of out-of-status persons and their family members to seek police protection, to report crimes committed against them or to serve as witnesses in other crimes,” Foxman said.
