Video: CAIR sues customs and border protection on behalf of Somali-American


Friday February 18, 2022


 

The automated screening practices challenged here—the federal government’s watchlisting system—are based on secret statuses assigned to more than one million people. The federal government disseminates those statuses to private companies, hospitals, universities, every law enforcement agency in the US, and even to foreign governments.

For some people, like the plaintiff filing this lawsuit, the secret status assigned to them means that, each time they travel overseas, federal agents will be waiting to seize their electronic devices on their return to the United States. The officials that oversee the watchlisting system use the information seized to assign more people secret statuses. 

CAIR’s mission is to protect civil rights, enhance understanding of Islam, promote justice, and empower American Muslims.
