Yisroel Liebb, an Orthodox Jewish passenger, has filed a lawsuit against United Airlines and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security after he was forcibly removed from an airplane bathroom during a flight from Tulum to Houston. Liebb claims the pilot made disparaging comments about his faith and that he was subsequently paraded through the airport in handcuffs by Customs and Border Protection, despite explaining his situation to flight staff. The incident raises concerns about the treatment of individuals based on religion and the boundaries of passenger rights during air travel.
Yisroel Liebb alleges that while experiencing severe constipation on a United Airlines flight, he was forcibly removed from the bathroom by the pilot, exposing himself to other passengers.
The lawsuit claims that, following this incident, Liebb and another Orthodox Jewish man faced discrimination and were subjected to inappropriate handling by Customs and Border Protection officers.
