As previously reported, on September 18 the Joint Terrorism Task Force raided the Muslim charity Life for Relief and Development in Michigan. It has recently been revealed in the Detroit Free Press that subsequently after the raid the organization was told by Comerica Bank that they were to close all seven of their bank accounts by October 2. While in operation the charity used Comerica to circulate millions of dollars. In light of Ramadan and the difficulty of closing the accounts so quickly, they were given an extension till November 15. Meanwhile, Life for Relief and Development has not been charged with any crime. Regional director of the committee Imad Hamad said, "he worried that 'this will set a precedent' with how private banks deal with Arab-American and Muslim customers."
