DESCRIPTION
This is a press release from May 7, 2012, issued by several organizations including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), National Network for Arab American Communities (NNAAC), Rights Working Group, Sikh Coalition, and South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT). The press release expresses disappointment regarding the Obama administration's announcement that it will not fully terminate the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS). The administration has also indicated that it will not provide redress to all people impacted by the discriminatory program.
