Adam Saleh just wanted to get home to his family for the Holidays in New York City. Instead, he claims, he was ejected from a his Delta Airlines flight, simply for speaking Arabic.
Saleh claimed that “racist people” had said they felt “uncomfortable” listening to him speak Arabic to his mother on the phone, and that flight attendants had told him to be quieter. “People were screaming at us like we were terrorists,” he said in one video.
Eventually, Saleh said he was rebooked on another flight.
