"The ACLU and Muslim advocacy groups filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday against the FBI and the Department of Justice for allegedly failing to turn over records detailing suspected surveillance of the Muslim-American community.

The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana, alleges that the FBI has only turned over four pages of documents to community leaders despite a joint Freedom of Information Act request that was filed more than a year ago.

The FOIA request sought records that described the FBI's guidelines and policies for surveillance and investigation of Muslim religious organizations, as well as specific information about FBI inquiries targeting 11 different groups or people.

The lawsuit states that all the plaintiffs—who include some of the most prominent Muslim leaders in California—have reason to believe they have been investigated by the FBI since January 2001."
