An Arab-American family was kicked off a United Airlines plane traveling from Chicago to Washington<\/span><\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

An Arab-American family was kicked off a United Airlines plane traveling from Chicago to Washington, D.C., after asking flight attendants about getting a safety harness for their children, the family said.<\/h4>\n

The mother, Eaman-Amy Saad Shebley, who wears a hijab, recorded the incident in two videos she posted to Facebook Wednesday, saying the family was asked to leave the plane for no reason other than how they looked.<\/h4>\n

In one video, a flight attendant asks the family to get off the plane but doesn’t say why.<\/h4>\n

In the second, the pilot tells the family members they were being asked to leave for an unspecified “safety of flight” issue. The video posts have since been removed from Facebook.<\/h4>\n

The family later reached out to the Council on American-Islamic Relations.<\/h4>\n

“I felt singled-out, humiliated and helpless,” Shebley told the civil rights group.<\/h4>\n

In a statement released to WDIV, United Airlines said the family was rebooked “because of concerns about their child’s safety seat, which did not comply with federal safety regulations.”<\/h4>\n

“Both United and Sky West hold our employees to the highest standards of professionalism and have zero tolerance for discrimination,” the airliner added.<\/h4>\n

The family disembarked and spoke with United Airlines’ customer service representatives who apologized several times and rebooked the family’s flight, WDIV reported.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
