A 29-year-old Muslim woman sued San Bernardino County and its sheriff Wednesday, alleging that deputies violated her rights by forcing her to remove the head scarf she wears because of her religious beliefs.
The American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Southern California filed the complaint on behalf of Jameelah Medina in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana -- accusing the county and the Sheriff's Department of breaching Medina's right to practice her religion as well as a 2000 federal law enhancing protections of prisoners' religious liberty. She was arrested in 2005 for carrying an invalid Metrolink pass.

i hope she wins, and her award is a one-way ticket back the caves of her forefathers.
There is no right to conceal your identity when you have been arrested. Get over it, islamofool.
ACLU is Americas enemy and the terrorist within! Do not be fooled they are not for the American people they are for our enemies!
just wishful thinking: how about removing her head with the scarf on? she might feel more at home.
trying to be helpful...
Don’t break the law, the cops won’t bother you.
Simple as that.
Keep testing the system, you’re goin’ down.
Sounds like a permanent member of the "Grievance Community."
1. Roger Baldwin, founder and guiding light of the ACLU for over 30 years, is now a member of the National Committee of the ACLU. Mr Roger Baldwin has a record of over 100 communist-front affiliations and citations (documented in detail, CONGRESSIONAL RECORD May 26, 1952). In an article written for Soviet Russia Today (September 1934), Roger Baldwin said: “When the power of the working class is once achieved, as it has been only in the Soviet Union, I am for maintaining it by any means whatsoever.” “The class struggle is the central conflict of the world, all others are coincidental.”
Entry of Roger Baldwin in the Harvard reunion book on the occasion of the 30th anniversary reunion of his class of 1905 (1935), “I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and sole control of those who produced the wealth: communism is the goal.”
2. Dr. Harry Ward, first chairman of the ACLU. Dr. Harry Ward has a record of over 200 Communist front affiliations and citations listed by the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities (HCUA). Dr. Harry Ward was chairman of one of the largest Communist fronts to flourish in this country, “The American League for Peace and Democracy,” which was placed on the Attorney General of the United States list of subversive organizations on June 1, 1948. Dr. Ward is the author of “Soviet Democracy” and “Soviet Spirit,” two pro-Communist books which clearly show Dr. Ward’s love for the Soviet system of government. The California Senate Fact Finding Committee on Un-American Activities, in their 1948 report, page 246, said: “The Communist affiliation of Dr. Harry F. Ward is indicative of the Communist sympaties of the members and sponsors of the “Friends of the Soviet Union.”
3. Abraham L. Wirin, chief counsel for the Southern California Chapter of the ACLU, sometimes referred to as “Mr. ACLU.”
In 1934 A. L. Wirin formed a law partnership with Leo Gllagher and Grover Johnson (reference: Daily Peoples World, Mar. 5, 1934, official publication of the Communist Party on the west coast). Mr Leo Gallagher ran for State office on the Communist Party ticket in 1936 and Grover Johnson, when asked by a governmental investigating agency if he had ever been a member of the Communist Party, refused to answer the question on the grounds that he might incriminate himself.
In 1954, A. L. Wirin was a candidate for the executive board of National Lawyers Guild (reference: Los Angeles Daily Journal, Jan 13, 1954). The National Lawyers Guild has been cited as a Communist Front organization by the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HCUA) September 21, 1950. (Four years before, Mr. Wirin was a candidate for the executive board.)
4. Dr. Albert Eason Monroe, executive director of the Southern California Chapter of the ACLU:
In 1952, Dr. Albert Eason Monroe, U.S. Navy serial No. 316900, was discharged from the U.S. Naval Reserve under conditions other than honorable.
In 1950, Dr. Monroe was fired from his position as head of the English department of San Francisco college for refusing to sign a loyalty oath. (The purpose of loyalty oaths is to protect the unsuspecting individual from lending his name to a Communist cause and from becoming a Communist dupe. The requirements of loyalty oaths have multiplied the obstacles to the Communists in recruiting memberships for their front organizations and maintaining discipline over fellow travelers in Government service. Few people will swear to an oath knowing it to be false and knowing that they might be liable to indictment and imprisonment for perjury. This requirement places a most difficult hurdle in front of the Communists attempting to ensnare an unsuspecting recruit into their conspiracy.)
In 1953, Dr. Albert Eason Monroe was listed as being chairman of the Federation for Repeal of the Levering Act (ie., loyalty oaths), which was cited as being a Communist front organization by the California State Senate Committee on Education in its 1952 report to the State legislature.
5. Rev. A. A. Heist, executive director of the Southern California Chapter of the ACLU in 1952, and Dr. Monroe’s predecessor. Rev. A. A. Heist was a signer of the statement to the President of the United States, defending the Communist Party (reference: Daily Worker Mar 5, 1941). In 1952, the Reverend Heist resigned his position in the ACLU to become director of a new organization which he founded, called the Citizens’ Committee to Preserve American Freedoms (CCPAF). This organization is run by its executive secretary, Mr. Frank Wilkinson, an identified Communist. At a meeting of the district council of the southern California district of the Communist Party, United States of America, Dorothy Healy, well-known Communist and chairman of the district council, said, “The party preferred public protest meetings against the HCUA to be held by the Citizens Committee To Preserve American Freedoms rather than under party auspices because Communists could attend without danger of being exposed as party members.” (Reference HCUA, H. Rept. 259, Apr 3, 1950, “Report on the Southern California District of the Communist Party”. The Citizens Committee To Preserve American Freedoms was cited as being a Communist front organization by the HCUA on April 3, 1959.
The Reverend Heist stated in a speech to an audience of high school and junior college students in Pasadena that “the Constitution of the United States is outmoded, outdated, and impotent.” (One of the stated goals of the ACLU is to preserve the Constitution.)
In 1948, the Reverend Heist protested the withdrawal of the use of their hall by Occidental College to an identified Communist poet, Langston Hughes, who was to speak on a poem of his entitled, “Goodbye, Christ,” which called for “Christ, Jesus, Lord God Jehovah” to “beat it” and “make way for a new guy named Marx, Communist Lenin, Peasant Stalin, and worker me.” (Reference: Hollywood Citizen News, February 26, 1948.) This would not be a strange protest from an atheistic Communist, but when it comes from a Methodist minister?
6. Carey McWilliams, a member of the national committee of the ACLU in 1948, who now figures prominently in the affairs of the ACLU, has been identified in sworn testimony, according to Government documents, as a member of the Communist Party. Carey McWilliams has a record of over 50 Communist-front affiliations and citations. He is the editor of “Rights,” the official publication of the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee which has been cited as a Communist front by the HCUA (November 8, 1957).
7. Prof. William A. Kilpatrick, prominent member of the ACLU on the east coast, was for many years head of Teacherc College, Columbia University. In his book, “The Teacher and Society,” published in 1939, Professor Kilpatrick said that “the revolution by force and violence was probably necessary in Russia, but it would not be necessary in America. Here, the same goals could be acheived by effectuating change within the framework of the Constitution.”
8. William Z. Foster, former head of the Communist Party, United States of America, was a former member of the National Committee of the ACLU. 9. Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, former member of the National Committee of the ACLU until 1940, is a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, United States of America.
In the report on “Communist Propaganda in America” (published 1935, A.F.L.) as submitted to the State Department, by William Green, the late president of the American Federation of Labor, Mr. Green states that: “During all the years since the establishment of the Soviet regime in Russia, propaganda in the United States has been conducted, not only through agencies directly set up by the Communist high command, but through agencies and organizations in which non-Communists of good standing and repute have been induced to participate. A careful studyof these organizations shows that they are so related through interlocking directorates that apparently some hundreds of organizations are dominated by an interlocking group of directors numbering not more than 60. Their tactics may perhaps be called the tactics of irritation, since their purpose is to create dissatisfaction as widely as possible and to bring into disrepute the authorities, and the established institutions of the country. As an example, the American Civil Liberties Union may be cited.”
To support Mr. Green’s statement of “the interlocking directorates,” we discovered that when we looked at the record of the top 15 past and current leaders of the ACLU, we found that they had a combined record of over 1000 Communist front affiliations and citations.
“The deputy threatened to delay Medina’s release if she did not follow orders, the complaint says.”
Real scary threat there. Probably said they would have to check it through the line of authority and rather than being made to wait, she removed the head covering. Now she is suing.
Seriously, if removing her head scarf to comply with the law and security issues means she isn’t practicing her religion, that religion is pretty rigid. I suspect many Muslims will say this isn’t the case in the Koran. She has just run out of study grants and wants some more government money.
Sorry, Sharia law does not apply here. She is not forced to wear a headscarf here. And no where does the Koran say she has to wear a head scarf. She has to wear a full length burka with a grill to look out of with one eye.
Even then, the Koran doesn’t say the Islamic police or any other can’t make her take it off.
they get sued for taking her scarf....they get sued if she hangs herself with it........tough call there.
It sure sounds like it is. All of the cities mentioned other then her birthplace are in the San Berdoo area.
I knew that name was an assumed one! The “Medina” part is a dead give away. It appears that Ms. Mohammeda is a home grown.
She’s an Afro-Latina Muslim?
“She’s an Afro-Latina Muslim?”
Like I said, home grown.
She refuses to doff her head gear? I guess it’s a good thing for her that they didn’t feel the need to do a full body cavity search. Our country is overrun with pu$$ies and lawyers.
You know, I got a birthday cake once with my face on it,, in frosting! Maybe we should photograph this women and projec their faces on the outside of their burkas. That way, they stay covered but yet, can be identified. I know, it’s not fool proof (burka switching will increase and the men involved with increase), but hey, it’s an idea!
oops,,
women should read WOMAN.
My bad.
