Abdi v. Wray

Facts

Yussuf Awadir Abdi, a U.S. citizen residing in Salt Lake City, Utah, has experienced delays and extended security screenings at airports since 2014, which he attributes to his placement on the federal government's 'Selectee List.' This list subjects him to enhanced screening procedures, including personal check-ins and secondary inspections at airports. Abdi alleges that he was once temporarily placed on the No Fly List, which prevented him from boarding a flight for two days, but he has since been allowed to fly without missing any flights due to security screenings.

Analysis

The court applied the fundamental-rights analysis from Washington v. Glucksberg, concluding that while Abdi's rights to travel were implicated, the government's actions did not substantially interfere with those rights. The court found that the extra security measures, while inconvenient, did not amount to a constitutional violation. Additionally, Abdi's procedural due process claim failed because he did not demonstrate a deprivation of a constitutionally protected liberty interest.
