Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation v. Bush

Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation v. Bush was a lawsuit where the Al-Haramain organization, a Muslim charity, claimed the U.S. government illegally collected and surveilled its phone records without proper warrants after 9/11. The case challenged the government's warrantless wiretapping practices, arguing they violated the organization’s constitutional rights. The court ultimately ruled that the group’s rights had been violated and awarded damages, highlighting the importance of legal protections against government surveillance. The case underscored the balance between national security and individual rights, especially regarding surveillance and privacy.
