American Sues Southwest Over Removal From Flight For Simply Doing This

A former Iraqi refugee is suing Southwest Airlines.
The now-American citizen was removed from a flight after another passenger heard him speaking Arabic.
Khairuldeen Makhzoomi, the plaintiff, is seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
The suit cits civil rights violations, discrimination and emotional distress.
Makhzoomi claims underlying “Islamophobia," which began as he awaited takeoff to Oakland from Los Angeles.
