Is the Terrorist Exclusion List (TEL) still used for anything?
score:2
Accepted answer
It appears that the Terrorism Exclusion List ("TEL") is still used. It has actually been updated with some regularity since its creation in 2001, most recently in 2012. The TEL is used to deny individual access at the immigration level. It is often referred to as a black list. The list originally had 39 members, and is currently at 59 members. The State of Ohio has a nice compilation of the different lists that they use for security purposes.
In 2012, the State Department removed the Communist Party of Nepal from the TEL. Furthermore, the TEL is referenced on a current Immigration Services website.
The TEL, and the Foreign Terrorist Organization ("FTO") list, appear to work in tandem to disrupt terrorism, etc. The TEL was created for purposes of immigration, probably to beef up the ability to prevent associated individuals from entering the US.
