National Security

Abdullah al-Kidd v. United States, et al.

The Fourth Amendment prohibits the arrest of criminal suspects without probable cause to believe they have committed a crime. Yet after 9/11, former Attorney General John Ashcroft and the U.S. Department of Justice implemented a policy of misusing the federal 鈥渕aterial witness鈥 statute to detain Muslim men for investigative purposes without probable cause to believe that they鈥檇 committed any crime. Pursuant to this policy, our client, Abdullah al-Kidd, a Kansas-born U.S. citizen and former football player at the University of Idaho, was arrested on a material witness warrant in 2003 and imprisoned without charges for 16 days, ostensibly because the government wanted his testimony in someone else鈥檚 criminal case. He was never called to testify and never criminally charged.
