Chicago Muslim woman refused to comply with police, resisted arrest, got strip-searched, now suing because it was "the ultimate horror"

A Muslim woman said she plans to file a federal lawsuit against the Chicago Police Department, for what she calls a clear case of profiling, reports CBS Chicago.

Surveillance video from July 4, 2015, shows Itemad Almatar among a throng of people walking up stairs at a Chicago train station, when five police officers approached.

"They threw me to the stairs, and grabbed my bags. They kicked me, hit me, took off my hijab," Almatar said.

She was then arrested and charged with reckless conduct and resisting arrest. Imam Malick Mujahid, a Muslim community leader in Chicago, said she was strip searched at the police precinct.

"At the same time men were allowed to see her naked. This is the ultimate horror you can do to a Muslim woman," Mujahid said.

Police officers as well as several witnesses claim the woman had refused to comply when asked to stop by police, then began moving extremely quickly up the stairs after looking back at them when she was finally stopped and arrested.
