The lawsuit charges that a corrupt, unlawful, and unconstitutional relationship between law enforcement and the ruthless killers allowed for the assassination. The ties between the government agencies and the killers went unchecked for many years and was actively concealed, condoned, protected, and facilitated by government agents.
The federal agencies had undercover personnel in the ballroom at the time of the attack, but the officers failed to intervene. This suggests a significant oversight, raising further questions about the government's role in the events leading up to Malcolm X's death.
The NYPD, coordinating with federal law enforcement, had arrested Malcolm X's security detail just days before the assassination. This indicates a systematic dismantling of the protections around Malcolm X, contributing to an environment where such violence could occur.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump emphasized that the family's lawsuit seeks accountability for what they believe was a conspiracy involving the CIA, FBI, and NYPD, asserting that these agencies played a role in Malcolm X's death.
