White House blocks Muslim mayor from Eid celebration.

The United States Secret Service blocked Muslim Mayor Mohamed Khairullah from attending a White House celebration with President Joe Biden to mark the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The Secret Service did not provide a reason for blocking his entry. Khairullah was an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump’s travel ban that limited entry to the US of citizens from several predominantly Muslim countries. The Council on American-Islamic Relations has called on the Biden administration to cease the FBI’s dissemination of information from a “terrorist screening data set” that includes hundreds of thousands of individuals.
