WHITE PLAINS Haifi Tamimi filed a federal civil rights lawsuit accusing the
city of Yonkers and 14 of its police officers of targeting her
downtown deli by selectively enforcing a local ordinance requiring
businesses to close between midnight and 6 a.m. She claims the
officers told her Muslims did not contribute to the city.
She also claims much of the harassment was directed at her
following the Sept. 11 attacks.
Yonkers City Counsel Frank Rubino said he was unable to comment
on the lawsuit because the city had not yet been served with the
complaint.
