A Chipotle manager in Kansas repeatedly asked a Muslim worker to remove her hijab and "forcibly" pulled it off her head when she refused to show him her hair, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says.

The company also retaliated against the worker after she complained, the EEOC claimed in a lawsuit, filed last Wednesday.
