4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Upholds Raids on Virgina Muslim Charities in 2002
The Washington Post reported on May 7 that, “An appeals court yesterday [(May 6)] upheld the legality of federal raids on a Herndon-based network of Muslim charities, businesses and think tanks, a case that caused a firestorm in the Muslim community.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit said the March 2002 raids on homes and business in Herndon and elsewhere in Northern Virginia were “a harrowing experience” for the targets but did not violate their constitutional rights. The court said agents exercised “lawful force” in drawing their guns and handcuffing a family whose home was searched.”
