Arizona State University police sued for forcibly removing protesters' hijabs

Four women are suing the Arizona State University police department for forcibly removing their hijabs after they were arrested at a pro-Gaza student encampment. The lawsuit states that police, acting on orders from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, removed the head coverings and kept them off for over 24 hours while the women were in custody. The plaintiffs claim they have suffered significant mental anguish, humiliation, and emotional distress as a result of having their hair exposed. This action is considered a violation of US religious and civic rights, as the women were not violent or dangerous during the protest.
