"I call on President Biden to correct the  injustices of the previous administrations by disbanding this secret list ill-advised racist policies." They also called on the U.S.

Secret Service and other federal agencies to stop using and distributing the list, which the group says has more than 1.5 million names, a majority of which are "Arab or Muslim sounding."At the Eid-Al-Fitr event Monday, President Biden said "we are determined to combat all forms of hate including Islamophobia which is important to me.
