I generally represent people in the criminal cases in State Court rather than federally. However, another attorney referred me to this case where a Moroccan gentleman who has full legal citizenship was being questioned by the FBI.  It entailed that he was absolutely innocent as to what had occurred, but there had been certain discrimination because he had bought a train ticket and because they thought he looked nervous.  The police at the train station had called the FBI.  The FBI ended up collaborating that the gentleman had done nothing wrong and that there had been no issues whatsoever; but it had been an example where; although there is a zealous desire to make sure that there are no further terrorists attacks and things like that where people become more suspicious of people that look different or people that are from other countries and it end up making false allegations; which can be very scary for the person that is being accused. 

 

           This case is one that we were able to resolve fairly easily.  The FBI Agents had no concerns about my client, but it could have easily had one where a couple of things could be looked at the wrong way and can certainly make someone be put on a watch list.
