(CNN) The Muslim mayor who was turned away from an Eid reception at the White House on Monday said he believes it was due to racial profiling.
When asked by CNN whether racial profiling was a factor, Mohamed Khairullah, the mayor from Prospect Park, New Jersey, said “there’s no doubt in my mind that at this point, my crime is my race, my religion and my name.”
Khairullah told “CNN This Morning” Tuesday that he has not been given an explanation from the White House or United States Secret Service ahead of being denied entry into the Eid reception that marks the end of Ramadan.
