October 2022

In October 2022, André and fellow comedian Clayton English filed a federal lawsuit against Clayton County, Georgia, claiming that they were subjected to a police program that racially profiled, coerced, and illegally searched passengers boarding planes for drugs at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport without reasonable suspicion. Their lawsuit challenged the constitutionality of the program. The district court dismissed the lawsuit based on qualified immunity of the police. André and English appealed this decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in January 2024.
