NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is voicing support for creating a mandatory database to track Muslims in the United States following the Paris attacks by Islamic State militants.
Trump told NBC News between campaign events in Newton, Iowa, Thursday evening that he would “absolutely” implement such a system.
The comments come less than a week after the deadly Paris attacks that have elevated fears of attacks in in the U.S. and prompted calls for new restrictions on Syrian refugees fleeing their war-torn country.
Trump has also talked about the need for increasing surveillance and potentially closing mosques.
