Muslim Mayor Denied Entry to White House Eid Celebration Hosted by President Biden

The Secret Service blocked Muslim Mayor Mohamed Khairullah from attending a White House celebration for the end of Ramadan, citing security reasons. The Council on American-Islamic Relations informed Khairullah that a person with his name and birthdate was on a terrorist watchlist. Khairullah, who has been critical of Trump's travel ban and has done humanitarian work in Syria, called the move "profiling" and "insulting." The group has called on the Biden administration to cease the FBI's dissemination of information from the Terrorist Screening Data Set.
