US ends immigrant registration that targeted men from Muslim countries http://www.abna.ir/data.asp?lang=3&Id=241743

The U.S. government has ended a controversial counter terrorism program created in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that required men living in the U.S. who came from mostly Muslim countries to register with federal authorities.Called NSEERS -- National Security Entry-Exit Registration System -- the program required registration, interviews and fingerprinting of male visitors 16 and older from Muslim nations as well as North Korea.

The program targeted men entering the country as well as more than 80,000 men already in the U.S., about 1,000 of them from metro Detroit. Nearly 13,800 residents were further investigated, and 2,870 were later deported.But not a single case resulted in anyone being charged with terrorism --

a fact that experts say proves the program was a failure that unfairly harassed thousands.NSEERS did "not catch terrorists," said Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia, a law professor at Penn State University who has extensively researched the program. "It was ineffective and alienating."The Department of Homeland Security quietly ended the program through a notice buried on its Web site on April 28.
