Nine East African immigrants filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against MV Transportation, a minority-owned transportation company, alleging discrimination based on nationality and religion.

Seven of the plaintiffs are Muslims from Somalia and Sudan. The other two are Christians from Ethiopia and Eritrea.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis, alleges that the plaintiffs faced “severe and pervasive harassment and other discrimination on the basis of national origin and religion.
