An Iraqi immigrant in the Detroit area has filed a federal lawsuit against a Michigan judge who told her to remove her Islamic head scarf in court.

Raneen Albaghdady of Dearborn Heights alleges that Wayne County Judge William Callahan violated her U.S. constitutional rights to freedom of religion and to access to the courts. The suit seeks to forbid state judges from ordering women to remove their Islamic head coverings, called hijabs.

Albaghdady, 32, is a member of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which filed the suit on her behalf.

A wealthy New York investor and prominent Democratic Party fund-raiser with ties to President Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton was arrested on Tuesday and accused of lying about his assets to obtain a $74 million loan from Citibank.

The investor, Hassan Nemazee, a former national finance chairman for Mrs. Clinton, orchestrated the fraud by using forged documents showing that he held accounts with collateral worth hundreds of millions of dollars, a federal complaint charged.
