A panel of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled 2-1 in May that Orange County deputies hadn’t violated Souhair Khatib’s rights by making her take off the religiously mandated headscarf for security reasons when she was placed in the holding cell. But the court said Monday that a majority of its 27 judges had voted to set that ruling aside and refer the case to an 11-judge panel for a rehearing in December.”
