Muslim Advocates Files Amicus Brief in “No-Fly” List Suit

Muslim Advocates regularly hears from people who–for reasons unknown to them–either are unable to fly or are subjected to extensive, additional screening each time they fly. The amicus brief–filed by the American Civil Liberties Union–argues that innocent travelers are subjected to the burdens of the watch-list, with no notice, no opportunity to be heard, and no ability to obtain relief. The brief also argues that the watch-list disproportionately targets American Muslim travelers and harms public safety.
