Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Tom Carper (D-Del.) are leading a coalition of Senate Democrats in calling on Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly to disclose information and motives behind the department’s revoking global entry status for Muslim travelers.

The joint letter is based on reports that American citizens and green card holders had their global entry status revoked without proper explanation a few weeks after President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning refugees and visa holders from six Muslim-majority countries. The Global Entry Program is operated by U.S. Customs Borders and Protection, under the jurisdiction of DHS, which allows expedited entry through customs checkpoints at U.S. airports to securely vetted travelers.

Booker said in an email to Mic that the impetus behind the letter is to figure out if the the Trump administration is enacting in blatant religious and/or racial discrimination, but that can’t happen unless DHS provides clear answers.

The letter is signed by Booker and Carper, as well as Sens. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Bernie Sanders (D-Vt. [sic, no Mic, Sanders is an independent), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Cardin (D-Md.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.).
