(Michigan Radio) A federal judge ruled last week that the government’s terror watch list violates the constitutional rights of those placed on it.
The list contains more than one million people identified as “known or suspected terrorists.”
Nearly two dozen Muslim U.S. citizens challenged the list with the help of a Muslim civil-rights group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
“We look at this ruling as a landmark decision by the court, and also vindication for the position that we’ve been taking for years,” said CAIR-Michigan Executive Director Dawud Walid.
