El-Sayed confirms sister-in-law's reported terror watchlist history ahead of Obama visit
El-Sayed said his sister-in-law was named in a federal watchlist lawsuit as Obama prepares to campaign with him, and the case did not prove wrongdoing.
- Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed acknowledged Saturday that his sister-in-law, Mariam Jukaku, was a plaintiff in a 2016 lawsuit challenging her alleged placement on the Terrorism Screening Database.
- According to the 2016 complaint, Jukaku underwent additional airport screening in 2012 and alleged she was never told why she had been flagged; the filing said she was believed to have been removed from the watchlist by 2016.
- Despite El-Sayed's claim that she "sued and won," a federal appeals court overturned a ruling favoring the plaintiffs in 2021, and a separate lawsuit seeking damages was dismissed in 2017; the judicial record does not establish wrongdoing.
- Mike Rogers called the allegations "disqualifying" on Saturday, while The FBI told Fox News it neither confirms nor denies an individual's inclusion in the Terrorist Screening Dataset.
- The controversy surfaces just days before President Barack Obama is scheduled to campaign alongside El-Sayed in Michigan on October 24, ahead of the November 3 election.
