A federal judge has dismissed the lawsuit challenging the New York City Police Department's surveillance of Muslim-Americans in New Jersey.

Judge William Martini ruled that the plaintiffs did not show that the NYPD had discriminated against them when it spied on mosques and other organizations.

The judge claimed that the plaintiffs did not plead facts sufficient to claim discrimination.

The plaintiffs are six Muslim individuals, two Muslim-owned businesses, mosques and a student association at Rutgers University, all from New Jersey.
