Hells Angels motorcycle group is suing the United States government over it's listing as a criminal organization.
They claim that the status violates their constitutional rights, and are complaining as it keeps their international members from visiting the country.
Originally founded in Southern California, in 1948, the group has spread to thirty-five countries.
Lawyers for the group state that they are "made up of motorcycle enthusiasts who have joined to ride motorcycles
together, organize social events, fundraisers, parties and motorcycle
rallies", and that the illegal activities they are associated with are the work of individuals, not crimes of the group.
A response from a federal judge is expected within the next couple of weeks.
