Trump’s controversial but popular travel ban which overwhelmingly targets the Muslim-majority countrie sof Chad, Iran, Syria, Libya, Somalia and Yemen, did not emerge in a vacuum. In fact, findings from recently published research expose 15 federal measures and 194 state bills that impact Muslims directly. (Many of which Obama reversed or tried to reverse while in office)
The Conversation After Sept. 11, immigration became a key national security issue. As a result, 15 federal programs and initiatives were implemented that target and discriminate against Muslim individuals and communities. These measures rely on a narrative that depicts Muslims as untrustworthy and in conflict with American values. This framing has justified the surveillance, racial profiling of Muslim immigrants, students, businesses and mosques.
The Entry-Exit Registration System, created by the Justice Department in 2002, fingerprinted, photographed and attempted to track all non-citizen males over 16 years of age from 25 countries.
With the exception of North Korea, all 25 countries had Muslim-majority populations and more than 85,000 individuals were registered in the system. The surveillance program was implemented as a counter-terrorism tool. Although all target countries in the program were removed by Obama in 2011, its regulatory framework remained in place for 14 years and could have been reinstituted at any time.
In December 2016, President Barack Obama officially dismantled the program. Obama was motivated, in part, by preventing the incoming Trump administration from reviving the program. One of Trump’s campaign promises was to implement a Muslim registry, spy on mosques and punish companies that offer Americans unbreakable encryption.

Kris Kobach, one of the original architects of Nseers who has been advising the Trump team on immigration and anti-terrorism, proposed last month as his no 1 priority for homeland security that he would “update and reintroduce” the surveillance program
The NYPD had a near flawless system for monitoring Muslim communities,a program that was disbanded under MayorBill DeBlasio. There have been at least 3 Muslim terrorist attacks in NYC since the program was eliminated.
ACLU The NYPD ’s Intelligence Division used a variety of methods to spy on and monitor Muslim communities
-
Mapping of Muslim Communities: The NYPD’s Demographics Unit (now the Zone Assessment Unit) has mapped neighborhoods predominantly occupied by 28 so-called “ancestries of interest”—i.e., national origin associated with Muslim populations—as well as “American Black Muslims.” The NYPD expressly excluded from its surveillance and mapping activities non-Muslims such as Coptic Christian Egyptians or Iranian Jews.
-
Photo and Video Surveillance: NYPD officers, stationed in cars outside of mosques, have taken pictures and video of those leaving and entering places of worship, and recorded the license plate numbers of worshippers attending services. Remotely controlled NYPD cameras have also been placed on light poles, aimed at mosques.
-
Police Informants: The NYPD has recruited so-called “mosque crawlers,” to act as inside observers in mosques. They report on sermons, provide names of attendees, and take pictures inside of the mosques. Employing a method called “create and capture,” the NYPD has instructed informants to “create” conversations about jihad or terrorism and “capture” and report the responses to the police. Informants are often selected from a pool of arrestees, prisoners, or suspects who are pressured into becoming informants.
-
Police “Rakers”: Teams of NYPD plainclothes officers—called “rakers”—have been deployed to Muslim communities where they can blend in “consistent with their ethnicity and or language.” They aim to compile information on the community, listen in on conversations at Muslim restaurants and businesses, and identify Muslim “hotspots.”
-
Tracking Individuals: The NYPD tracks people who changed their names, investigating those who could be Muslim converts or who were “Americanizing” their names.
-
Intelligence Databases: The Intelligence Division has generated daily reports on innocent Muslims’ lives. The names of thousands of innocent New Yorkers have been placed in secret police files. Information is kept both in an intelligence database and on a standalone computer used to generate intelligence reports.
Mueller is a traitor to this nation and should be exposed for what he is. This BS about him being such a stellar example for all of us to admire IS total BS.
Let’s face it folks that DAMNED b o did America a LOT of hurt, and he really should be hanged as a complete trator. But now there are soooo many of the vile muz pushers that I really believe it will take civil war or something very major to reverse the damned devils damage. I would really like to see the nasty creature die at the end of a rough rope. I really do HATE MUZ AND MUZ HELPERS.
Hey Don, agree with you 100% buddy.
Donald Trump driving a steam-roller type construction tractor making islamists into moslems with 72 old crones bearing dull razor blades would make a great survivalist cartoon.
Speaking of terror attacks, I wonder if the garbage truck that crashed into the Amtrak train with republican senators and representatives going to West Virginia was an Islamic terror attack! It’s a theory I have. Have you thought of that, Bonni?!
Not yet. What was the name of the driver?
They’ve not released the name of the victim yet.
Hey Bonnie – they’re still not releasing the name of the garbage truck driver who hit the train. It’s too much of a coincidence though. I’m not sure if Devin Nunes was on the train or not but he’s a key figure in the #ReleaseTheMemo hashtag on twitter and Facebook.
This memo is feared by the left – both in the media and politicians. Adam Schiff wants the memo kept secret.
I think it was a mass assassination plot!
RB, eventually it will come out. Keep checking.
Exculpatory evidence for POTUS and indicting the real Coulson public enemy number one CAIR is Hamas is going nuts along with Dem adding the reservations and accommodations for terrorist Islamic Sharia fellow travelers
Every-time I get targeted at the airport in the spirit of fairness & potential-terrorist blindness, I curse the direction of Mecca.
Good! Whenever you see a asslifter in action, get close & give support by farting in the direction of Mecca.
In my opinion, DeBlasio is a traitor.
“These measures rely on a narrative that depicts Muslims as untrustworthy and in conflict with American values.”
It’s NOT a narrative, it’s TRUTH! If the truth offends, then change your truth! Which the surveillance programs were doing quite well until they were terminated ?
I think that the stats on “muslims in america: get the facts” are way too modest, I’m going to bet the real numbers are much, much higher. How can you ever be sure what they answer if it can just be taqiyya? ?
The reason, or should I say the excuse “racial profiling” is bullcrap when muslim is NOT A RACE!!! The excuse “religious persecution” or “violation of religious freedoms” CAN be used as a viable excuse, however. Talk about taking someone in to feed them only to beat you with your own skillet ?
“Update and reintroduce the surveillance program”…oh PLEASE don’t play with my heart like that! ?Seeing is believing!
Awww, poor widdle “Dreamers” are so offf-ended at their superior virtue and importance not being recognized by the POTUS that they want to… wait for it… have him beaten up.

And the Democ-rats were so pissed at hearing their precious MS-13 gangbangers dissed that they… hissed!
Roll ’em, roll ’em, roll ’em …. Trump is riding tall in the saddle …. cracking his terrible swift bull whip …. riding herd over the Muslim terrorists …. and giving riding lessons for free ?
Moslems are not targeted. Their culture of violence is anathema to western civilization. Its a no-brainer to not permit this type supremacy/violence based people into our country.
Thank you Jesus, Buddha, Krishna. No more Obombass.
