MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Plaintiffs are twenty-three United States citizens' who claim that because of their
inclusion in the federal government's Terrorist Screening Database ("TSDB"), referred to
colloquially as "the Watchlist," they have suffered a range of adverse consequences without a
constitutionally adequate remedy.^
In Mohamed v. Holder, 2015 WL 4394958 (E.D. Va. July 16, 2015), the Court concluded
that the Department of Homeland Security Traveler Redress Inquiry Program ("DHS TRIP"), as
that process existed at the time, did not provide a constitutionally adequate remedy for a United
States citizen who had been listed on the No Fly List, which is a subset of persons included in the
TSDB who are prohibited from boarding a commercial aircraft that traverses U.S. airspace, and
' These Plaintiffs are: (1) Anas Elhady; (2) Baby Doe 2, by his next friend. Father Doe 2; (3) Yaseen Kadura; (4)Osama Hussein Ahmed; (5) Ahmed Ibrahim Al Halabi; (6) Michael Edmund Coleman; (7) Wael Hakmeh; (8)Hassan Shibiey; (9) Ausama Elhuzayel; (10) Donald Thomas; (I I) Murat Frljuckic; (12) Ibrahim Awad; (13) MarkAmri; (14) Adnan Khalil Shaout; (15) Saleem Ali; (16) Shahir Anwar; (17) Samir Answar; (18) Muhammad YahyaKhan; (19) Hassan Fares; (20) Zuhair El-Shwehdi; (21) John Doe 2: (22) John Doe 3; and (23) John Doe 4.' Plaintiffs bring their claims against the following Defendants in their official capacities based on their involvement
in the administration of the TSDB: (I) the Director, Principal Deputy Director, and Deputy Director for Operationsof the Terrorist Screening Center; (2) the Director of the Department of Homeland Security Traveler RedressInquiry Program; (3) the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center; (4) the Administrator of theTransportation Security Administration; (5) the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and (6) the ActingCommissioner of United States Customs and Border Protection.
