She is a student from Saudi Arabia who lives in Chicago, and told reporters she was in a hurry to catch her train on the 4th of July of 2015, because so wanted to get home quickly and break her Ramadan fast.<br /> <br /> "Several (officers) ran up the stairs and grabbed the Plaintiff and threw her down upon the stair landing, then pulling at her and ripping off her hijab," the lawsuit says.<br /> <br /> CBS Chicago reports the abuse didn't end there.<br /> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> </div> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <br /> <br /> "They asked me why I put my food inside my bag, why I'm Muslim, why I'm fasting, why I'm wearing these clothes, why I cover my body," she said.<br /> Security-camera video made public shows several minutes of the arrest in the subway. Several officers can be seen pushing through a crowd on a stairway to reach Al-Matar, but soon move out of view of the camera.</blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> The fact that Al-Matar was wearing a headscarf, known as a hijab, and the face veil, called a niqab, "was the impetus behind the actions" of the officers, the court filing alleges. In a statement Thursday, Phil Robertson, a lawyer for the Chicago chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, and a co-counsel in the civil case, argued that "blatant xenophobia, Islamophobia, and racial profiling" underpinned the officers' actions. </blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> A police report filed the night of the incident says officers had been "on high alert of terrorist activity" on the Fourth of July holiday when they spotted Al-Matar exhibiting what they believed was "suspicious behavior," including walking at "a brisk pace, in a determined manner." It also says officers saw what they thought could be "incendiary devices" around her ankles and were also suspicious of her backpack, which was clutched to her chest. </blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> "(Officers) believed that subject might be a lone wolf suicide bomber and decided to attempt to take subject into custody," it says.</blockquote> <strong style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"></strong><br /> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/muslim-woman-mistaken-for-terrorist-itemid-al-mata-sues-chicago-police/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: blue; text-decoration: none;">Muslim Woman Sues Chicago Police Officers For Racial Profiling</a> [CBS Chicago]</strong></div>

In addition to the grenade, there was a 1.5-ounce golden Glock. Then, there was the centerpiece of the consignment—a replica of an AK-47, fashioned from rolling papers and a half-pound of kind bud.<br /> Placing each piece carefully into a cardboard box, Greenhand made his way toward the top floor of the Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront. With his long hair, backwards baseball hat, and 150-pound frame, he looked more like a pizza delivery guy than an artist with a grip of sculptures that would make Snoop Dogg swoon.<br /> Greenhand’s wealthy buyer beamed when he saw the guns and the grenade. “The anticipation almost killed me bro,” he said, taking a long pull from a bottle Ketel One vodka. He shook his head in a state of disbelief. A few other people milled about the suite, which was already scarred from an afternoon of hard partying. Soon, hip hop beats and marijuana fumes rippled throughout the room.<br /> Clutching the AK-47, the client’s eyes lit up. “You want to get El Chapo’d right now?”</blockquote> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFdOMUbk_1nn635XBFGvwMy39Jr6o4pu3itfU-6i-nMhH4LmPJILP1Cuzn-Smh-JCLz45jx-1NkvyplKuhOa4jDzZJ2Nh989iT70-cRwXwqpeK-PlJBpz-89PKq6HOsSq5o9zK8QHVi45u/s1600/Screenshot+%252869%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFdOMUbk_1nn635XBFGvwMy39Jr6o4pu3itfU-6i-nMhH4LmPJILP1Cuzn-Smh-JCLz45jx-1NkvyplKuhOa4jDzZJ2Nh989iT70-cRwXwqpeK-PlJBpz-89PKq6HOsSq5o9zK8QHVi45u/s1600/Screenshot+%252869%2529.png" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMFUrM7HTkh6-4GL6AAHvJ2B-aYTatXHLVevybpWX6cidwkB_z_fJ2omQlNqZrC_7b3ZVFxQj7r8oJFLUbC2w9cEZCmmqcP2fWkvf1qcWxc_kZtoHziNav-6BxRMSb0jmdNArOfXJuo9Gf/s1600/Screenshot+%252868%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMFUrM7HTkh6-4GL6AAHvJ2B-aYTatXHLVevybpWX6cidwkB_z_fJ2omQlNqZrC_7b3ZVFxQj7r8oJFLUbC2w9cEZCmmqcP2fWkvf1qcWxc_kZtoHziNav-6BxRMSb0jmdNArOfXJuo9Gf/s1600/Screenshot+%252868%2529.png" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

"The question I think they have to ask themselves is, if you are repeatedly having to say in very strong terms that what he has said is unacceptable, why are you still endorsing him? What does this say about your party that this is your standard-bearer? This isn't a situation where you have an episodic gaffe. This is daily and weekly where they are distancing themselves from statements he's making."<br /> Obama wondered what comment from Trump would actually force Republicans to withdraw their support for the Republican nominee.<br /> “There has to be a point in which you say this is not somebody I can support for President of the United States, even if he purports to be a member of my party. The fact that that has not yet happened makes some of these denunciations ring hollow. I don't doubt their sincerity. I don't doubt they were outraged about some of the statements that Mr. Trump and his supporters made about the Khan family,” he said. “But there has to come a point in which you say somebody who makes those kinds of statements doesn't have the judgment, the temperament, the understanding to occupy the most powerful position in the world because a lot of people depend on the White House getting stuff right."<br /> He noted that the denunciations coming from Republicans differ from the typical policy disagreements between Democrats and Republicans.<br /> "I think I was right and Mitt Romney and John McCain were wrong on certain policy issues, but I never thought that they couldn't do the job. And had they won, I would have been disappointed, but I would have said to all Americans, this is our president, and I know they’re going to abide by certain norms and rules and common sense, will observe basic decency, will have enough knowledge about economic policy and foreign policy, and our constitutional traditions and rule of law that our government will work," Obama said. "But that's not the situation here."<br /> "There has to come a point in which you say, enough," Obama told Republicans.<br /> The President also said that Trump is "unfit" to be president in light of his attacks on the Khans, who are the parents of a Muslim-American soldier who died in combat.<br /> "Yes, I think the Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president," he said at a press conference when asked if he questions Trump's fitness to serve given his comments on the Khan family and on Russia. "I said so last week. And he keeps on proving it. The notion that he would attack a Gold Star family that had made such extraordinary sacrifices on behalf of our country, the fact that he doesn't appear to have basic knowledge around critical issues in Europe, in the middle east, in Asia means that he's woefully unprepared to do this job."<br /> <br /></div>
