Judge Orders FBI To Turn Documents On Surveillance of Muslims Over to Court

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
The ACLU of Southern California yesterday won a preliminary victory in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit it filed in 2007 on behalf of 11 Muslim American leaders, mosques and local organizations who are seeking information on FBI monitoring of themselves and other groups. (See prior related posting.) USA Today and an ACLU press release report on the order issued by a California federal district judge requiring the FBI to turn some 100 documents over to the court so it can decide whether they should be publicly released. The court also ordered the FBI to conduct a search in its offices nationwide for any records of electronic surveillance of the Council on American-Islamic Relations of Greater Los Angeles and its executive director. The ACLU charges that the FBI is targeting Muslims in southern California for surveillance based on their religion.
