CAIR files lawsuit against the FBI and US government, alleging discriminatory watch list placement of two Palestinian Americans.

Muslim advocacy group CAIR has filed a lawsuit against the FBI and US government leaders, alleging the discriminatory and racist placement of two Palestinian Americans on a watch list. The men, who have never been charged or convicted of a violent crime, claim they were subjected to extra screening and interrogation while traveling to and from Qatar. One was placed on the no-fly list. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, accuses the authorities of using the no-fly list to target individuals based on race, religion, or free speech activity.
