Abdullah, an American citizen, was arrested in 2003 under the federal material witness statute, which permits the government to detain individuals with crucial testimony in a criminal case if they might flee. Though never charged with a crime, he was held in high-security detention for 16 days and faced court-ordered restrictions for another 15 months. Believing his detention was unlawful, Abdullah sued then–U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, claiming his arrest violated the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. He has since settled in Saudi Arabia, where he’s lived for over a decade.0:00 Intro2:18 Gunpoint at at 144:54 LA Gangs 8:29 Eldest Child Pressure13:41 SurvivingtheStreets16:55 Gangs, Drugs and Rap21:09 CripsOriginStory24:07 Freemasonry VS Islam31:04 9/11Arrest39:40 Lawsuit Exile45:00 Law Reform Bias51:35 Yemen59:00 Prison and Aryan Brotherhood1:05:04 PTSD and Purpose1:18:48 Classism and Legacy
