Having been 'black-balled' by the Trump, it appears CNN is going all-in on alienating itself from The White House as The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports a CNN editor and producer who was detained Sunday at Atlanta's airport has filed a federal lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's immigration order.
Mohammed Tawfeeq is an Iraqi national who has been a permanent legal resident of the United States since 2013. As an editor, Tawfeeq frequently travels to the Middle East as part of his reporting duties, the lawsuit states. Tawfeeq was detained Sunday at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, where he was subjected to additional screening that delayed his entry into the United States.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the lawsuit states...
Defendants used Trump's recent executive order to unlawfully detain Tawfeeq, who is a legal permanent resident of the U.S., an immigrant from Iraq, an award-winning Middle Eastern journalist and the current manager of CNN's International Desk.
The lawsuit, filed against the U.S. departments of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection and other federal agencies, seeks a declaration of Tawfeeq’s rights under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The suits states that applying this executive order to lawful permanent residents or green card holders returning after a brief trip abroad violates the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Administrative Procedure Act and the U.S. Constitution.
“The executive order has greatly increased the uncertainty involved in current and future international travel for returning lawful permanent residents like Mr. Tawfeeq,” the lawsuit states.

This guy is a special kind of stupid...................
"Cook added that he had been affected by a range of “heart-wrenching stories” of Apple employees who have been affected by the order, which was signed by Trump last Friday.
Tim Cook is a queer from the South Alabama community of Robertsdale...just across Mobile Bay from Mobile.
Anyway.....
- Roll Tide -
Cook is a graduate from Auburn.
So, will this idiot’s suit survive the first day in court ?
“Tawfeeq was detained Sunday at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, where he was subjected to additional screening that delayed his entry into the United States.”
I get it. The Fraud exempted his terrorist BFF’s from “additional screening”, so this Hussein-Head is indignant.
Your god left OUR House, you bigot tawfeeq.
he doesn’t have standing in the court...
this doesn’t effect him...
Revoke his green card and drop chute him over Syria.
Problem solved.
“INA: ACT 215 - TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION OF ALIENS AND CITIZENS
Sec. 215. [8 U.S.C. 1185]
(a) Unless otherwise ordered by the President, it shall be unlawful- “ to blah blah.
Case dismissed.
Fake lawsuit from your Fake News Headquarters, CNN. No standing.
Sorry CNN... you have no legal standing.
Oh... and by the way... Your FCC licence is about to expire.
It is called, “Lawfare”, and it is where muslims sue us based on our own laws, so that they can take hold of society and inflict their “sharia” on us.
Cable networks such as CNN are not licensed by the FCC. Only radio and television broadcast stations are governed by the FCC and require licenses.
What does he think wanding is ???
I had that a few times plus Ive been felt up...
wait till he has that fun...
and I’m an American citizen...
>>> Cable networks such as CNN are not licensed by the FCC.
Oh Details!!!... Details!!!...
SOMETHING is about to expire, and it aint Trump!
Bwahaha!
If CNN is suing the president, then in order to ensure no inappropriate contact between the parties without the presence of counsel, CNN should be excluded from all press briefings and their employees should not be allowed on the White House grounds.
Yes he is a special king of stupid. The President can prevent anyone admission to the US. This jerk has now justified Trump to ostracize CNN from any further contact with the WH.
detained for additional screening is now basis for lawsuits?
Get real here goat humper. I am a Anerican Citizen that gets detained for additional screening every time I fly....and I was born here.
Someone send this crybaby a pork chop and tell him to get a yob at a real News organization.
All of these lawsuits are will be feeble posturing as President Trump is well within the laws granted to him as POTUS.
First they came for the Iranian terrorists, and I did not speak out - because I was not an Iranian Terrorist.
Then they came for the Yemeni terrorists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Yemeni Terrorist.
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to try and blow me up.
