(2001 - Present)
CLOSED REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS UNDER THE CREPPY MEMORANDUM

VISA WAIVER PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT AND TERRORIST TRAVEL PREVENTION ACT OF 2015
Racially profiles Muslims on the basis of religion and national origin, and arbitrarily discriminates against and prevents nationals of four Muslim-majority countries from participating in the program, as well as enshrined into law the scapegoating and discriminatory exclusion of Muslims.

Prevents Muslim asylum seekers from accessing refugee protections and safety in Canada, despite Muslims’ expressed fear of persecution in the United States.
(2004 - Present)

(2009 - Present)
PENTTBOM INVESTIGATION
Imposed discriminatory policing (selective enforcement or non-enforcement of the law), government surveillance, and profiling of Muslims as suspects and terrorists based on religious, racial, ethnic, and national origin stereotypes.

MILITARY ORDER: DETENTION, TREATMENT AND TRIAL OF CERTAINNON-CITITZENS IN THE WAR AGAINST TERRORISM
Authorized US military commissions at Guantánamo, which was considered a free-law zone where detainees would not have US constitutional protections, and prisoners were subjected to torture, human rights abuses, prolonged detention, and detention without charge. Muslims detained at Guantánamo Bay prisoners are the most impacted.
(2001 - 2006)
NATIONAL SECURITY ENTRY-EXIT REGISTRATION SYSTEM (NSEERS)
Regarded Muslims on nonimmigrant visas (e.g. tourism, work, study) as a security risk based on their religion and national origin, and subjected Muslims to forced registration, as well as sweeping detentions, charges, and deportations for failure to comply with the program’s requirements. As a result, families were torn apart, and there is long lasting, and deeply-rooted fear, anxiety, distrust, and alienation felt amongst Muslim American communities.
(2002 - 2016)
