Fans of rap-metal music group Insane Clown Posse have lost an appeal to have an FBI report scrubbed of language referring to them as a gang.
The group’s fans are known as Juggalos. They’re upset that a 2011 report given to Congress describes Juggalos as a “loosely organized hybrid gang.” The fans filed a lawsuit in Detroit, blaming the report for harassment by police.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the report carries no direct legal consequences. The court also says the Justice Department isn’t responsible for how other agencies use information.
