San Francisco (CNN Business) The American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Northern California has filed a civil complaint on behalf of an Apple employee who was detained by US Customs and Border Protection. Andreas Gal, who wrote a Medium post about his experience, was detained at San Francisco International Airport on November 29, according to the complaint. Global Entry is a program offered by CBP that pre-approves low-risk travelers and gives them expedited clearance to enter the United States. Members of the paid service enter the United States using automatic kiosks at select airports. The complaint, filed with the Department of Homeland Security's Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, asks for an investigation into whether CBP's interrogation and search violated Gal's First and Fourth Amendment rights.
