Fikre alleges that he traveled to Sudan in late 2009 in pursuit of growing an electronics business in his native East Africa. The FBI questioned him while in Sudan, according to court filings, telling Fikre he was on the No Fly List and could be removed if he became an informant.
Fikre allegedly refused and moved to the United Arab Emirates, where he claims he was then abducted and tortured for months by the country’s secret police at the FBI’s request. After leaving the United Arab Emirates, Fikre says he moved to Sweden, filed his lawsuit and sought asylum.
The “No Fly List” is unconstitutional garbage. The list is secret, you can’t get the fuck off of it, and it’s absolutely riddled with errors.
I applaud SCOTUS for not allowing the Federal Government to retract Fikre’s listing and then claim the issue is “moot” to avoid a potentially unfavorable ruling.
The No Fly List needs to be de-invented. Immediately.
Same as the sex offender registry in the US. If it was only for a very select group of high risk people… but they put people on there for so many small things, it has lost its purpose.
Why, what did you do?
LoL… you ass! :D.
Just in case, people that publicly urinate get put on there as you have your genitals out in public meaning you must be a sex offender.
“In at least some instances, requiring the Government to disclose sensitive information regarding its grounds for placing or removing a person from the No-Fly List could undermine the Government’s significant interests in airline safety and the prevention of terrorist attack,” Alito wrote.
Horseshit. I don’t know what part of “due process” people don’t understand. If the government is limiting your right to movement, they need to prove why when questioned. No exceptions. Especially so if the individual(s) in question have not been charged with any crime.
