Anti-Israel journalist sues Homeland Security over seizure of phones upon return from Iran...

Max Blumenthal filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security alleging that agents seized his phones upon his return from Iran. He had traveled there to cover the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and publicly described the Israeli strike on the Iranian leader as a crime.

The complaint claims the government targeted him for his journalism and political views. Blumenthal is known for his frequent criticism of Israeli policies.
