Advocacy Groups Charge Michigan Banks Are Closing Muslim Customers' Bank Accounts

The Detroit News reported yesterday that CAIR-Michigan has asked the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to look into charges that JPMorgan Chase is closing bank accounts of Muslim customers in the metropolitan Detroit area. In July, the Arab-American Civil Rights League complained to the Justice Department and filed a class-action lawsuit making similar charges against Huntington National Bank.
