The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agency is accused of detaining and interrogating travelers without valid justification.
The American Civil Liberties Union has launched a lawsuit against the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency to shine a light on operations of"secret teams" the organization says has been deployed at airports across the country"to target detain and interrogate innocent travelers.", CBP units dubbed"Tactical Terrorism Response Teams" have been deployed to at least 46 airports and other U.S. ports of entry.
According to the ACLU, Gal was questioned on his activism, being an outspoken advocate for online privacy and being a vocal critic of the Trump administration's policies. Abdikadir Mohamed, for example, had been on his way to board a connecting flight at JFK International Airport in December 2017 when he was detained by CBP officers.
The interrogation went on for 15 hours, the organization states, before officers decided that Mohamed, an immigrant, was"inadmissable" and moved to deport him. According to a 2017 testimony from then-CBP Office of Field Operations Executive Assistant Commissioner Todd Owen, in that fiscal year alone, TTRTs denied entry to more than 1,400 people with travel documents, with the teams having operated at dozens of airports.
Further, the civil liberties organization noted, former CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan, who would go on to become the acting chief of the Department of Homeland Security, had also suggested in a September 2018 interview that TTRT teams operated based on"instinct."
