The ACLU has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a Dearborn man who says he was wrongly put on the federal government s No Fly list, the group said Wednesday.
The U.S. government removed Ahmad Chebli from the list after the ACLU filed the lawsuit on Chebli s behalf in federal court.
Chebli was put on the No Fly List in 2018 after he refused to become an FBI informant despite agents’ repeated coercive threats against him and his family, according to the ACLU.
“I’m relieved to be off the No Fly List, but still reeling from the government’s abusive use of the list against me and its violations of my constitutional rights,” Chebli said in a statement Wednesday.
