GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump declared on Saturday he would bring back the NYPD’s mosque-surveillance program if elected.

“I want surveillance of certain mosques. We’ve had it before, and we’ll have it again,” Trump told a rally in Birmingham, Ala., referring to a controversial policy that was eventually dropped by the NYPD.

“If I win, they’re going back. We can’t have them,” he announced to a crowd of around 2,000 supporters. “I don’t want the people from Syria coming in because we don’t know who they are.”

On Saturday, Vice President Joe Biden announced the government had introduced “another layer of checks just for Syrian refugees” in light of terrorism fears.

However, Biden pointed out that shutting out refugees and creating a wedge between Muslims and the United States “play[s] right into the terrorists’ hands.”
