CHICAGO (Reuters) - Dr. Elie Khoury is a Palestinian-born physician who has been a U.S. citizen for more than 30 years, but every time he and his wife return to the United States from abroad they are separated, searched, and questioned for hours -- and no one will explain why.
Khoury, 68, is among 10 plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago by the American Civil Liberties Union charging that thousands of Americans have been improperly detained, interrogated, threatened, and even strip searched at the border in the name of tighter security.
