Suit Charges Mistreatment of Muslim-Americans At U.S. Canadian Border

The Detroit News reported Friday that four Muslim-Americans have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government alleging that they have at various times been detained, handcuffed, subjected to humiliating questioning and invasive body searches when crossing the Canadian-American border. They allege that the treatment is based on their religion and ethnic background. The suit, filed by CAIR and a Detroit area attorney, says that plaintiffs have been questioned about which mosque they attend and about their religious practices.
