A Florida man, Kenneth Pinkney, was sentenced to 37 months in federal prison for assaulting a Muslim postal carrier wearing a hijab in a hate-motivated attack.
The incident occurred following violence in Israel and Gaza, emphasizing the need to protect individuals from being targeted due to their religious beliefs.
Mr. Pinkney approached the carrier on a bicycle, making threatening gestures and telling her to 'go back to your country,' reflecting a hateful attitude.
The U.S. Attorney's Office emphasized that everyone, including federal employees, should be able to carry out their duties safely without fear of discrimination.
