“They were told to ‘just be peaceful,’ making it seem like they were a threat, making other passengers uncomfortable and wanting to get off the flight,” said Tahanie Aboushi, who represents them.

When they got off the plane, a jittery agent from American Airlines told them they made the crew uncomfortable.
