This morning, the FBI executed court-authorized law enforcement activity at a residence in the 1400 block of Corbett Drive in Conway, South Carolina.

This action is related to an ongoing criminal civil rights investigation involving allegations of racial discrimination. The FBI is the primary federal agency responsible for investigating possible violations of federal civil rights statutes, which remain one of the Bureau’s top priorities.

We are working jointly with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, as well as our local and state partners, to thoroughly examine this matter, and we’re dedicated to ensuring equality and fairness within our communities.

We have also been in communication with local community organizations to understand their concerns surrounding this matter and to emphasize our commitment to fostering trust and accountability.

As this is an ongoing investigation, additional details cannot be provided, but rest assured, we are dedicated to this matter and the civil rights of all Americans.

We encourage anyone who may be subjected to crimes involving hate and discrimination to contact local law enforcement and the FBI. You can call 1-800-CALL-FBI, or you can submit an online tip at tips.fbi.gov.
