As they threaten a lawsuit, Ahmed Mohamed’s family says that not only did police illegally interrogate the boy for bringing a homemade clock to high school, but that top officials later worked to “kneecap a kid in the media” to cover up their mistakes.

The smear effort made Ahmed the target of anti-Muslim conspiracy theorists and caused his family to flee the country for their own safety, the family’s lawyer claimed Monday in letters addressed to City Hall and Irving ISD—demanding apologies and a total of $15 millon to stave off a civil rights suit.

Interesting that this happened in Texas and the kid is now suing for $15 million.


A guy named Kerry Max Cook that served 23 years on death row in a Texas prison for a crime he did not commit before being released has not received a dime for what was done to him.
