S. Department of justice not pulled the plug on haneys investigation. The department of Homeland Security responded to haneys allegations with this statement saying in part the office for civil rights, Civil Liberties reviews allegations of civil Rights Violations and makes policy recommendations to ensure the department upholds the constitution and our laws. Dhs added personnel are not permitted to independently create terrorist related lookouts in a database.

John cohen, a former acting under secretary at dhs told abc news, Homeland Security barred immigration experts from reviewing social media messages of all foreigners applying for u. S. Visas. Preventing experts from seeking out maliks online messages in support of terror groups. Cohen told abc it was primarily a question of optics. There were concerns from a privacy and Civil Liberties perspective. Clifford may is with the foundation for defense of democracies.
