IRVING, Texas (AP) — U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch says the Department of Justice is investigating the brief arrest of a Muslim teenager who brought a homemade clock to his suburban Dallas high school.
Lynch confirmed Thursday that the department was investigating Ahmed Mohamed’s arrest.
Mohamed was detained, but quickly released, after police became suspicious of a clock he brought to school. His family questioned whether he was mistreated due to his religion.
The Dallas Morning News reports that the Irving school district has refused to release an inquiry sent by the Justice Department.
Mohamed’s family eventually left Irving after reporting threats and now lives in Qatar. His lawyers have threatened the city and the school district with a lawsuit.

Think about that for a moment.
What’s there to investigate? The police, the child, the school and the parents all agree Ahmed was
-pressured by the principal to incriminate himself
-taken from school without his parents being notified
-repeatedly denied access to his parents or an attorney during questioning
Texas code prohibits this.
Civil rights?! Ha ha! How quaint! President Trump will fix all that civil rights bullshit, you’ll see.
Does anyone know if, after the school freaked out over this alleged “bomb”, a bomb squad was called to inspect it? If not, the school administrators need to explain why not.
They knew it wasn’t a bomb. They thought it was intended to look like a bomb.
