Abdallah, who immigrated to the U.S. from Pakistan, said he believes the change in heart from the aldermen was partially done out of racism.

Mohammed Abdallah, who alleges his development plans were stymied for discriminatory reasons, in his office March 7, 2024. A gas station entrepreneur is suing Calumet City for a vote he says reneged on an approved deal to allow him to build on a vacant lot, challenging the vote as “procedurally invalid” and illogical.

Abdallah left the meeting, but the lawsuit alleges aldermen then went into a closed session, though the reason is not given in the meeting minutes. Dan Shapiro, Abdallah’s attorney, said because of the lack of a second, the vote is “null and void” and the original approval should stand.Abdallah is also asking for Calumet City to cover his legal fees which he said are in the six figures, and any other relief the court “deems just and proper.”

“They don’t like us, people coming from different country, living the American dream and made a fortune in this country,” said Abdallah, who operates more than 20 gas stations in the Chicago area. “They are kind of really jealous of us.”
