A member of Donald Trump ' s transition team , Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach , has accidentally revealed his proposed strategic plan for the Department of Homeland Security , which includes an ideological extreme vetting test for immigrants seeking to enter the United States , and reinstating a registry for immigrants from majorityMuslim countries . Kobach was photographed carrying documents outlining this strategic plan into a meeting with Donald Trump on Sunday . Following 911 , Kobach himself helped design the registry for immigrants from majorityMuslim countries , known as the National Security EntryExit Registration System , or NSEERS . Under the program , more than 10 , 000 Muslims were deported and more than 80 , 000 were spied on . The Department of Homeland Security abandoned the program in 2011 after deeming it ineffective . Nearly 200 organizations are now calling on the Obama administration to rescind the legal framework for the registry before Obama leaves office , so Trump ' s administration cannot reinstate the program .
