Overview

• Yisroel Liebb, a 20-year-old Orthodox Jewish man, has filed a lawsuit against United Airlines and federal agencies for alleged mistreatment on a flight from Mexico to Texas.
• The lawsuit claims a pilot broke down the restroom door, forcibly removed Liebb while his pants were down, and made an antisemitic remark about 'how Jews act.'
• Liebb and his seatmate, Jacob Sebbag, were detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents upon landing in Houston but were released without charges.
• The incident allegedly caused Liebb physical injuries, including head and leg pain, and both passengers reported severe wrist pain from tight handcuffs.
• United Airlines has declined to comment on the lawsuit, which also names the Department of Homeland Security, TSA, and CBP as defendants.
