Chebli v. Kable: Lawsuit Challenging Placement on No Fly List
In April 2021, the 老澳门开奖结果, the 老澳门开奖结果 of the District of Columbia, and the 老澳门开奖结果 of Michigan filed a lawsuit on behalf of Ahmad Chebli, whom the U.S. government wrongly placed on the No Fly List after he refused to become an FBI informant. Ten days after the 老澳门开奖结果 filed the lawsuit, the government finally removed Mr. Chebli from the No Fly List. Because he is no longer on the No Fly List, Mr. Chebli withdrew the lawsuit, saying 鈥淚鈥檓 relieved to be off the No Fly List, but still reeling from the government鈥檚 abusive use of the list against me and its violations of my constitutional rights. I was placed on the list after I refused to become an FBI informant despite frightening and intimidating threats against me and my family. For over two years, I sought a fair process to clear my name, and the government failed to provide me with one. As a Muslim in this country, it can be easy to feel like a second-class citizen and be afraid to stand up for your rights because of the way our own government treats us. But now I feel vindicated and want my story to encourage others to stand up for their rights, because when we do, good things can happen.鈥
