CARRP has affected over 50,000 families, not just ours. Here are testimonials from others who have had their applications to naturalize subjected to this unreasonable and illegal delay and denial.

The ACLU stated in their groundbreaking report, “Muslims Need Not Apply” [basit: link that title to https://www.aclusocal.org/en/publications/muslims-need-not-apply ] that “The CARRP program directs agency officers to delay and ultimately deny the immigration benefits applications of applicants it has blacklisted, all without even telling these individuals that they were labeled threats to our nation, let alone giving them an opportunity to respond to the allegations.”

“I joined the army to fight for other people’s freedom, and I ended up losing my own.”
— Specialist Yassine Bahammou, to whom the Army promised expedited citizenship when he joined as an Arabic translator, but who instead endured years of delay to become a citizen after unfounded accusations were made against him and other Muslim soldiers.

“I always played by the rules. I paid taxes, contributed to society and raised a beautiful family. The U.S. government treated me differently in the citizenship process because I am a Muslim man. It was incredibly frustrating and truly demoralizing. No person of faith, no honest man should have to face the discrimination I have, especially when striving to take an oath of allegiance to the United States.”
— Tarek Hamdi

“Part of the reason that people love to become United States citizens is because of the great features of the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. system in general. Equality for everybody and you expect that would be true in the process of becoming a U.S. citizen. But instead we are being treated in a way directly opposite because of our religion and national origin. I never expected that the U.S. government, which is the most important preserver of the Constitution, would itself be violating it and doing it secretly so that most people cannot even know about it. That is hurtful, and it strikes me that it is un-American too. It shatters your belief to some extent in what America stands for.”
