A Department of Homeland Security final rule became effective, removing the regulations underlying NSEERS. Registration had already ceased in 2011, but its regulatory framework remained until this repeal. Civil rights advocates had campaigned for removal because the program disproportionately targeted men from Muslim-majority countries. The change dismantled this particular framework; it did not prohibit every possible future discriminatory registration proposal.
