Donald Trump’s team ‘discussing plans for Muslim registration system’
The Independent is reporting that the Trump transition team, which includes immigration hardliner Kris Kobach, is considering a come-back of the “special registration” program for Muslim noncitizens. “Such a programme would echo a registration system created under Mr Bush’s presidency, which [Kris] Kobach also helped design, and which required thousands of Arab and Muslim visitors and temporary US residents to register with the state, but was abandoned in 2011 after it was criticised for unfairly targeting immigrants from Muslim-majority nations.”
