Multiple Muslim Americans were harassed by border patrol officers and repeatedly questioned about their religion while returning from international travel, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday.
Three men — Abdirahman Aden Kariye, Hameem Shah and Mohamad Mouslli — filed the lawsuit with the American Civil Liberties Union against the Department of Homeland Security.
“Just as border officers may not single out Christian Americans to ask what denomination they are, which church they attend, and how regularly they pray, singling out Muslim Americans for similar questions is unconstitutional,” the lawsuit said.
