Muslim New Jersey Mayor Blocked from White House Eid Celebration

TL;DR Summary
The White House organized a celebration for Eid al-Fitar and invited hundreds of prominent American Muslims, but uninvited Mohammad Khairullah, the mayor of Prospect Park, N.J., who is the longest serving Muslim mayor in the US. Khairullah was given no explanation, but he later found out that he was on a "secret list" that the government denies exists. The list was deemed unlawful by a federal judge, but the government continues to use it. Khairullah believes it uses racial and ethnic profiling and lacks due process. He hopes the Biden administration will disband the list.
