2024-08-12 Rights Group Sues US for Placing Palestinian American on ‘Illegal, Racist Watchlist’ The largest U.S. Muslim civil rights group on Monday announced it is suing Attorney General Merrick Garland and other federal officials for placing one Palestinian American on its “no-fly” list and for seizing another’s electronic device and interrogating him about his constitutionally protected organizing for a free Palestine.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations and its Los Angeles office (CAIR-LA) are suing Garland, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray, Terrorism Screening Center Director Michael Glasheen, and other national security officials on behalf of Mustafa Zeidan and Osama Abu Irshaid.
According to the lawsuit, the men “are both United States citizens of Palestinian descent” who have never “been charged or convicted of a violent crime.”
“Yet, recently, the federal government has placed Dr. Abu Irshaid and Mr. Zeidan on a secret list, subjecting one to a humiliating process of detention, questioning, and phone seizure at the border and barring the other from flying altogether,” the filing states. Irshaid is on the terrorism watchlist while Zeidan cannot fly. https://www.commondreams.org/news/cair-lawsuit
