Following a protest in support of Palestine at Portland’s Grand Floral Parade last month, Serine Abuelhawa was among eight protesters arrested. Abuelhawa, a Muslim woman, was taken into custody at the Multnomah County Jail, where she was instructed to remove her hijab in front of male deputies. For religious reasons, she initially refused, which led to a tense interaction, a traumatizing day, and a possible civil rights violation.
