US Citizen Remains on No-Fly List After Returning Home
------------------------------------------------------



A US citizen has returned home to Virginia after being stranded abroad
on the government’s no-fly list. Twenty-six-year-old Yahya Wehelie of
Fairfax, Virginia, had been stuck in Egypt for over two months because
he had recently studied in Yemen. Wehelie remains on the no-fly list but
was allowed to return under a one-time waiver. The American Civil
Liberties Union filed suit last month on behalf of ten other Americans
and legal residents on the government’s no-fly list.
