Obama administration kills program Trump could use to register Muslim, Arab immigrants | Mic


https://DiasporaEngager.com/extPage/SpiritualPlatform Donald Trump wants to register Muslim immigrants. Barack Obama is taking steps to make that harder. On Thursday, the Obama administration officially ended the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, a program designed with the intent of tracking Muslim and Arab immigrants to the United States following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. NSEERS hasn't been in use since 2011, when the Obama administration suspended the program indefinitely, but only by vacating all the countries-of-origin from the registry, not actually striking the program. By completely dismantling NSEERS, rather than simply suspending it, the Obama administration is sending a signal to President-elect Donald Trump that they don't want to be tied to any of the incoming administration's possible tracking or targeting of Muslim immigrants — something Trump campaigned heavily on during his race for the White House.
