Muslim Americans sue over US border officers’ ‘invasive’ questions on religion

Trio file lawsuit against homeland security department, alleging questions about faith were in violation of constitutional rights

Three Muslim Americans filed a lawsuit this week alleging that US border officers questioned them about their religious beliefs in violation of their constitutional rights when they returned from international travel.

The men involved in the lawsuit claim that US border officers at land crossings and international airports peppered them with questions about whether they were Muslim and attended a mosque and how often they prayed.
