Muslim activist says American Airlines wrongfully singled her out after she was arrested

Amani Al-Khatahtbeh reportedly got into a dispute with a white man which later led to the airline contacting the police

A Muslim woman who was arrested on an American Airlines plane Saturday before its departure from New Jersey said that she was wrongfully singled out following a dispute with a white man traveling in first class.

Amani Al-Khatahtbeh, an activist and blogger, described alleged details about the dispute in a Twitter thread about an hour before her apparent arrest, saying it began at a Transportation Security Administration checkpoint in Newark Liberty international airport.
