The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday granted the Federal Bureau of Investigations’ (FBI) petition to review whether it was lawful for the federal agency to infiltrate and collect information from a dozen mosques in Southern California over a decade ago.
The case was filed by the Southern California chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Council on American-Islamic Relations on behalf of three Muslim men, who alleged that Muslims in their communities had been wrongly targeted by the FBI solely because of their religious beliefs.
