Ten House Dems have come down on Mayor Mike's response to the NYPD's Muslim spy scheme, decrying his reaction as "underhanded and unprofessional."

As detailed by The Associated Press (via Washington Post), the pols have demanded that Bloomberg end out-of-state spying.

The electeds' outcry stems from recent AP reports indicating that the NYPD -- with money from White House anti-drug programs -- spied on entire Muslim communities. The NYPD's intel ops also took officers all across the Northeast. They checked out Muslim Student Associations as far as Yale and the University of Pennsylvania.

The AP has also reported that the NYPD sent "an undercover agent on a whitewater rafting trip" to observe these students.
