The lawsuit asks for monetary damages, but also seeks changes at the airline. \n\n

The situation unfolded on Feb. 17, 2020, when Abobakkr Dirar and Mohamed Elamin, both U.S. citizens born in Sudan, were in first class waiting to fly from Seattle to San Francisco. The men, colleagues in a medical transport business, were planning to buy work vehicles and drive them back to Washington state, where they both lived.

Several of those measures took place even after Dirar offered his phone to the airline manager, who examined and translated the text messages in question and deemed them to be “completely innocuous,” according to the complaint. The men said they saw some of the other passengers who had to be rescreened “staring at them and appearing visibly agitated and scared, with some passengers cursing and expressing anger,” the suit says. Everyone except Dirar and Elamin were allowed back on.
