Muslim Mayor Blocked from White House Eid Celebration Over Alleged Racial Profiling

Mayor Mohamed Khairullah, a Muslim who has been the Democratic mayor of Prospect Park, New Jersey for 17 years, was blocked from attending the White House celebration of Eid al-Fitr by the Secret Service. Khairullah believes that his name is mistakenly on an FBI list, causing him travel problems in the past, but agencies have never given him many details, and they have offered no way to remedy it. The Secret Service confirmed that Khairullah was not allowed entry to the White House complex but would not say why.
