Devyn Elijah Springer, who goes by the pen name Musa, is a Black, Muslim, queer activist and journalist from the Atlanta area. On April 8, 2025, they were stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials at the Tampa International Airport on their way home from a trip to Cuba. They were detained and interrogated for hours about their political work and their associations with other prominent activists and scholars who, like Musa, have been outspoken advocates for Palestinian rights and critical of the U.S. government’s role in funding the Israeli military campaign in Gaza. CBP agents subjected Musa to invasive pat-downs, searched their luggage, and seized their phone and laptop. Musa refused to turn on the devices or give their passwords to CBP. The Center for Constitutional Rights and co-counsel filed a motion in federal court in the Middle District of Florida seeking the immediate return of Musa’s electronic devices and copies of any information obtained from them.
