The Obama administration continues to operate a secret post-9/11 program that grants federal authorities powers to profile and deny immigration benefits to foreign Muslims and nationals of Muslim countries. In a new report called “Muslims Need Not Apply,” the American Civil Liberties Union says the previously unknown program began in 2008. It designates Muslim immigrants as “national security concerns” and subjects them to immigration criteria beyond those established by law. The Controlled Application Review and Resolution Program, or CARRP, also hands the FBI extensive authority to investigate applicants and even delay their cases for lengthy periods, putting thousands in immigration limbo. The program also may have been used to recruit informants and deny the bids of those who refuse.
