| US greets returning Muslims with interrogation |
| 2009-04-23 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] A Muslim legal advocacy group in the United States is accusing federal agents at borders and airports of routinely selecting Muslim American travelers and those with ethnic backgrounds perceived as Muslim for searches and interrogations on the basis of race, religion and national origin without any "evidence or even suspicious wrongdoing." In a report issued in April Muslim Advocates, a non-profit group of the National Association of Muslim Lawyers (NAML) accused the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Customs & Border Protection (CBP) agents of privacy violations by carrying out "profound privacy intrusions" against law-abiding Muslim, Arab and South Asian Americans returning home from overseas travel without any cause. |
