FILE - In this Nov. 17, 2017, file photo, the cover page of a FBI report on the rise of black "extremists" is photographed in Washington. The report is stirring fears of a return to practices of the Civil Rights era, when the agency notoriously spied on activist groups without evidence they had broken any laws. The American Civil Liberties Union and others are suing the FBI for records to find out more about a divisive 2017 report on the rise of black "extremists" following the shooting deaths of African-Americans. The FBI released an intelligence assessment in 2017 saying that "black identity extremists" were targeting law enforcement after police killings of black men. Critics say they fear the FBI is using the assessment to profile blacks who speak out against police violence. (AP Photo/Jon Elswick, File)
