Obama formally implemented CVE policing as his signature Islamophobic policy in 2011

Evidence

In August 2011, President Obama formally implemented CVE policing, which would become the primary counterterror surveillance program and the signature Islamophobic policy of his administration. CVE theory contends that through collaboration between DHS and local law enforcement, individuals suspected of becoming radicalized can be identified, persuaded from adopting a “radical” ideology, and prevented from taking terrorist action. — Khaled A.
