Meet 2 U.S. Citizens Detained at Airports: A Police Chief and a Lawyer Who Sued Trump Administration
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- democracynow.org - A growing number of U.S. citizens are sharing accounts of having been detained at airports across the country since the start of the Trump administration. Boston-based civil rights attorney Iván Espinoza-Madrigal says he was returning home on March 12 from a vacation in Portugal when he was detained at Boston’s Logan Airport. A day later, the former police chief of Greenville, North Carolina, Hassan Aden, says he was detained for over an hour by Customs and Border Protection agents when he was flying into New York City’s JFK International Airport after returning from visiting his mother in Paris. The two join other U.S. citizens, including a U.S. Olympic medalist, a NASA scientist and the son of boxing legend Muhammad Ali, who have all been detained at airports across the country since the start of the Trump administration. For more, we’re speak with Iván Espinoza-Madrigal and Hassan Aden.

I was stopped by boarder patrol in Temecula as I exited a gas station and ask for identification by agents in spanish, I asked for their cause to detain and he failed to answer so I just kept walking. He asked if he could search my vehicle and I responded no thanks. As I was entering my vehicle I could hear his dispatch giving him my information. Be advised vehicle you stopped comes back registered to a police department I smiled and drove off. When I make traffic stops I tell the subjects driving the vehicle why I stopped them and treat them with respect never been charged with violating someone rights.
Victor Guerra you still suck ass
Well it’s sad they still stop people search them without cause and never get charged.
Welcome to the USSA!
All citizens do not have the same right. Wealthy, law enforcement, judges, and politicians are above-the-law. This guy was a rare exception.
Yes. Let's call it how it is now. If you're rich enough you can do whatever you want and not be punished. If you are punished it's a slap on the wrist. The same crime by a poor person would land them in prison for life. The justice system has failed us and our government is failing us.
Kind of weird when all the people becoming citizens they oath to the flag and the constitution. Isn't that the same for everybody? Or do we have to invent a new kind of flag that id you base on the fact that you are not wealthy, rich, etc.? This administration has to leave, but not only this administration, also the poor politician mentality that do not understand that all citizens are created equal and have same rights, whether you are born in US or naturalize.
This ex-cop just said he was "Looking forward to doing his thing." You can't get much more American than that.
Rebel One 😂😂😂😂
LOL!
That chiefs skin color and name got him stopped for sure!
I don’t leave my house without my passport since Trump became president. This is what living in a repressed country feels like. This is how Nazi Germany got started.
Veronica Deras-Roiz, I been Stopped once and followed once by the police for walking while Muslim since trump became President.
Veronica Deras-Roiz much respect to you
What's next..."Your papers please, madam".
Veronica Deras-Roiz it certainly is my dear , exactly how Nazi Germany got started .....
Let’s make America great again. Sorry. Again? When did that happen the first time unless, of course, you’re rich, white, and were born in the US.
Hassan Aden, "Am I detained?, sounds like I heard these many times from african americans when questioned by LEOs.
It's good that this is happening because now people will notice how wrong the system is. And hopefully people will stand up to this Injustice
Denysbga Astorga. How?
That's what I've been saying, ever since this guy became president. For decades, everyone was told that America is full of smart, open minded people, that the nation is so united, be proud of your country! Well, the reality is slightly different. I just hope that people would wake the fuck up! The biggest damage can be caused by arrogance and ignorance.
yea before this administration customs before always welcome you but now totally different so we need a change Democrat let's change this
This is what you get when the government and the media is constantly deviding us on race
OMG! I was hold last Christmas when I came back from Spain! They also took my US passport! It was the exact same story. Their only explanation they gave me is that I have a "pretty common name".
They should have gone through hassle-free after scanning the passports ...
clearly depends on WHO attends to you on arrival - (good vs wicked CPP officer)
This is unacceptable.
Nancy Campbell Gibson
It's very acceptable
I’m all for it ma’am. We should band together work to curtail and stem the flood of non-White people to our country.
They have absolutely no right to come here in the first place much less to come in, refuse to assimilate and then start demanding this and that. Luckily, the unending flow of third world sewage is ending. They (largely) have no respect for our cherished traditions, our Constitution or our flag. Why are we obligated to even listen to these people; send them ALL back. They are a corrosive force, tearing at the unity of our country. Diversity is not a strength, it is divisive. A mongrelized nation with no common language, no respect for the rule of law without a border is not a nation at all.
My family’s roots go back to the founding and I’m proud of our heritage. I’m proud to be a White European! It’s late in the game and this is the only way we can hope to preserve the Country handed down to us. Our culture, our heritage and our language are all under direct threat. Please reconsider if you have any respect at all for the faces in your family portrait. Without action, your family will likely be mongrelized.
Omniscient 1 What the actual fuck.
Blue The gig is up. We are not giving this country up.
wow i never thought this would happen, i did not make plans to go to the USA now i m sure i stay in Europe
USA is worst now
Are the civil rights of citizens suspended at America's borders? I'm an American living overseas. I've noticed a continuous increase in the militarization of customs and immigration every time I go back to visit family. I haven't been back since Trump became our fearful leader. Kinda makes me want to stay away.
Greg K
It may be in your best interest to stay away like you mentioned, we're in for an even rougher ride out here!!!!!!!
if I was you I would wait!
LAST YEAR I WAS JOKING WITH SOME ONE ABOUT THIS VERRY THING IF I WAS TO GO ON VACATION WILL I BE ABLE TO COME BACK//WELL TODAY/ ITS NO JOKE/WE ARE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF//WHAT?
Greg K Younare not alone! You may have noticed that cruise ships are avoiding American ports. The hassle annoys the passengers and the ship’s personnel. I have been to the USA many times, but never since GWB became President.
Greg K, people of color need to get out of this evil country.
Trump has made this country horrible to live in.
My wife and I was planning to visit the US on holiday, as a result of many such stories this has been put onto the back burner, I can see I may never leave the airport, bit like The Terminal lol
John I don't know where you are, whether you have white skin, but there are better places to go
Make a statement
Don't spend your money here!!
clara Hurley
Agreed.
Unfortunately this happens because thé USA is ruined by corrupt politicans. Shame such a great country that have been sold to thé worst drug dealers from south latin américain countries and with Trump have become a third world ghetto lifestyle. I feel very lucky that Im a Proud French citizen.
God blees you and your family.
John Mansell
Its sad to hear that thé USA has become a total jerk country.
Take care.
WELL if you leave now you can come back as soon as you learn how to use a pen or pencil. and learn to fill out papers.to many people die in the back of 18 wheelers. and desserts .america payed for that to
how would like to open the back doors of a 18 wheeler and find a bunch dead bodys in the back and have to help put them in body bags .this might save a lot of lifes think about it smart guys
i was looking forward to visiting family in the US at Christmas. But last week, I had spoken to my uncle to tell him I'm not keen on traveling to the US whilst Trump is in office. Apparently, my father has also decided to do the same. And so has my sister. We live in different parts of the world so there'd be plenty of alternative locations for a family reunion.
cattyagent i find racial discrimination a big issue even at airports
cattyagent Great. Stay out of here. We have too many visitors already.
Roger Melania is a visitor let kick her out
This is all about power - who has it, who hasn't, who wants it, and who feels powerless inside so works to achieve power. Read the U.S. University study about the students who were divided into inmates and guards. Absolutely shocking results, showing power does indeed corrupt. By the way, I am a Canadian, living near the Canada-U.S. border, and although I love to shop in the states, I wouldn't be caught dead entering the US now. I am a senior, no criminal record -haven't even had a parking ticket, not a drug-user, anarchist, and wouldn't carry a gun unless I had to defend my country and myself against Trumpists. But - I still fear how I could be treated by USB.
Roger didit idiot!! Our economy thrives on people who come and visit!! You get out of our great country!!
What a free country America is!!
#GoodtobeCanadian
Holy crap. They detained Andy Taylor, a police chief from North Carolina!
The are both intelligent and great men .
The only proof of citizenship should be your passport when traveling! If they must verify who issued it then passports should be issued with all supporting information needed by agencies. Everything should be accessible in a database so fallible humans do not abuse powers but instead are assisted with accurate information to do their jobs well!
vutube379, well said.
vutube379
They got database but instead ask alot of questions unless their data systems were attacked by a virus
So a few important people start getting treated like common people and the crowd goes wild.
American. Citizen fight for your rights when come the time for election 🗳 that’s when all the American Citizen we need to put all in place
I wonder if the chief of police, greenville, nc police has let this experience impact on the way he polices his district
i guess I'm kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to stream new tv shows online ?
@Guillermo Brett i would suggest Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
@Declan Kaiden yup, been using flixzone for months myself :)
@Declan Kaiden Thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it!
@Guillermo Brett Happy to help :D
Vetting is required to know who is legal, illegal, or criminal.
Everyone should be respected thru the vetting process and released as soon as possible.
💘 San Diego!
This is humiliating. I will never ever transit in the USA. Thank God I am Canadian and live in Canada .
He was detained because of his skin color
Christen Williams, probably his name too.
Jason C. I know! and he works for the government who could’ve thought!
Christen Williams :8
My mother is lighter than him and she's randomly selected all the time since 2001.🤷♂️
He had the wrong skin color.
The lawsuit was the problem with his passport. THis is a tactic that CBP may learn from their
counterparts in the 3rd and fourth world.
welcome to the world of brown and black...man it!!!
Yeah but you brown people join with the whites and ill treat darker skin people.
You have a passport? Ever traveled out? JFK? Stop it.
I was on my way back from deployment in uniform and was detained and searched .
NEPTUNE S karma
Terrible. I will say though about Hassan Aden. Man up, you were a cop for 30 years. You've never violated anyones civil rights? You don't know any one under your command that violated someones civil rights? You wouldn't do exactly what these CBP officers were doing if told to without question? Boot straps sir, boot straps.
Because he knows the other side, and probably always tried to be fair, this hurts more.
who will be the 1st president to retire in a federal prison?
Tatek Aragaw dream impossible dream
Tatek Aragaw ...........and will the secret service join the 😳
America has begun to convert to communistic behavior
Ana sanchez .........And what makes you think that Ana ?
@@ronaldomadrebien7045 look at how they treat people citizens of the country. Deporting married people. Over legislated. Freedom is gone. Life liberty and pursuit of happiness is gone. Every thing is over scrutinized. You must be young. There has been a change in government respect for. It's citizen's.
This happened to my mom 10/10 times. It’s not Trump. This started happening to us after Sept 11. The detained is usually 45min to 2hrs. We asked questions but 9/10 never given any answer. Once we were told that information on our USA passports i.e. birthday, name, description, etc matched with the high risk database... My mom is 70yrs old now and she has been traveling abroad consistently once of twice per year for 20yrs or so.
Hasan Adan was used as an alias by somebody. That is setting a really, really low bar for suspicion. It's probable that EVERY combination of first and last name has been used as an alias.
Somewhere in the world some guy of North Western European decent used "Dan Morgan" as an alias. I guess I have to learn to live with being detained during my travels for indeterminate amounts of time. That is just plain stupid.
Agreed. The bigots can use anything as an excuse- "we don't need no stinking reasons".
Dan Morgan my mom's brother-in-law is always detained at airports because his profile is similar with a colombian drug lord even though he is filipino and holds a british passport
name? they use finger prints! for god sake!! what stupid excuse.
Your name can match somebody else how many Dan Morgan can be criminals that's is not justified by as long they scan your passport CBB officer knows exactly who you are
It's a result of a recently passed law that authorizes Homeland security to detain anyone indefinitely without warrant
This has gone on long before Trump! Get your facts straight!
This will all stop if everyone votes Democrat next election.
No it won’t its the TSA that’s out of control! Vote democrat If you don’t need a job and you want to pay more taxes If you do have one.
Are you out of your freaking mind?
Democrats are the true nightmare
I wouldn't travel to the USA had you given me money. I lost all my respect I had for that beautiful country.
America and Americans can be great for them selves.
This might sound unreasonable, but this could be done to US citizens to discourage them from leaving, whether it be visiting relatives, going on holiday,s or doing business overseas. This is only going to get worse as time goes by, where many US citizens end up finding themselves wrongly deported to nations where they have no business being there in the first place.
Rosa Lynn, it will only get worse if Trump wins the next election.
Prepare to leave America!
Rosa Lynn you are to naive
Maybe it will get so bad there will be reverse immigration. People will voluntarily start leaving because they no longer feel welcome like citizens.
Citizens CANNOT be deported
Agree
This has been the situation for all foreigners coming to the US for decades. I have repeatedly told my american friends and they have rarely believed how bad it actually is. I am talking about foreigners entering the US legally on a tourist visa. I am white and from Norway, I suspect it might be worse for coloured people from other countries. I have talked to people from a norwegian consulate in the US (this was about 10 years ago) who told me that it is a growing problem that norwegian citizens are detained at US airports up to a week, stripped of all their legal rights, not allowed to contact families or get legal help. I have no doubt that things have gotten worse with Trump at the wheel, but you are fooling yourselves if you think this is a new problem. The groundwork for a fascist empire was put down a long time ago. Blaming Trump now wont solve any problem, you have to look deeper.
Simple solution. Imagine Anonymous releasing the names & residences of ICE personnel. You can bet the behavior of ICE would change 180 degrees radically.
No sir you're not being detained, we just thought we'd lock you in a storage closet.
I was myself detained a few moments in Canada as I had spent ten days in Tunisia. Immigration agents wanted to know what was I doing in Tunisia. I am Caucasian.
Fire the incompetent agents and seek monetary compensation from these government agencies.
Thank you boarder patrol for doing your ...at times thankless...job. We(Americans) will be safer for it. God bless the USA and President DONALD TRUMP
Reminds me of Germany when Hitler was in charge show me the papers no papers you're under arrest. The man in the White House number 45 is it is Hitler's lost brother
More like his son
The problem here is that the recruiting of personnel hasn't kept up with their training. I'm sure many of those employed are not past High School or their schools have passed them so as to meet government imposed standards to qualify for government grants. There are procedures in place to obtain TSA clearance ahead of flying. That's why many people find themselves on NO FLY lists. Its shoddy bureaucracy. Not something to call the Media on, unless you have an agenda.
Not many of those doing the checking have left the shores of the US and eye anyone flying in from outside as suspicious. Like I said, its a lack of training and education. Geography in school these days is a thing of the past.
Hey cop, how it feels???!!!!???? LOL
Eduardo Ramirez ...you are small minded... The issue is that the rughts of US Citizens are bei g violated for no reason....
Maybe hassan now can feel what happens when you not in control like when his cops arrest innocent civilians
Audelino Granados I don't trust cops either but c'mon dude
This happened to me in 2018 on a flight back to MIA from the Dominican Republic. I was momentarily detained and was told my passport was fake. I was born and raised in the US, and was told that my English name “didn’t match my phenotype”. The officer who questioned me looked like someone from an indigenous tribe in Mexico. The pot calling the kettle black. I told him “are you a US citizen? Are you impersonating an officer?”, I was let go but it was utterly dehumanizing.
Counsel for the United States” means-
United States” means-
(A) a Federal corporation
Last month at LAX they sent me to a room, because they said I was arrested before wich is false, I'm a freaking Army Veteran not a criminal
I travel a lot for international training purposes and things like these have happened with Bush's, Obama's, and Trump's administrations. I'll never forget one day when I handed over my passport to an immigration officer about 18 years ago and I said; "good Morning sir" and he replied to me by saying "Let's see if it's going to be a good morning for you" Even though I knew that the guy was rude and threatening I just ignored him, cooperated and he eventually let me go. I provide international training so understanding how the immigration/customs personnel and their system work is essential to make my experience more acceptable. Traveling a lot makes me suspicious to their eyes. So they always force me to show them contracts, business cards, training materials, receipts, etc. The sometimes interrogate me very firmly or rudely back and forth why I am traveling, who I'm traveling with, who did I meet abroad, details about my clients and corroborate what I say. They check how much money/goods I carry and so. It's endless they can legally do it and by law you are at their mercy... remember they are after illegal immigration, drug trafficking, money laundering, smuggling, terrorism, etc. therefore they are not going to be nice and courteous, actually in order to be effective as immigration/customs officers they have to be rude, inquisitive, authoritarian, very distrustful among others .Sorry... bad news for the general public but that's the way they catch bad guys.Be advised that they have the right to search your phones (yes you read right), to detain you for vetting purposes and if you resist because you feel bad, or try to apply your constitutional rights where they don't apply; you have now committed a felony, will be officially arrested and taken to court. WARNING when you are in the immigration/customs area you are not in the US, so your US constitutional rights don't apply there. So my advice is; "control yourselves, cooperate and if you ain't got no problem, they will eventually release you." It's not nice at all but there is nothing you can do about it.
Col. Scott loosing what we never have ! liberty !!
Loosing???
@Anon Person devil's advocate: One who argues against a cause or position either for the sake of argument or to help determine its validity. What's your point?
@Anon Person My recount is about real experiences, the applicable law and how officers apply it at their discretion.
But yeeessss... you may put yourself in a foolish situation by resisting and fighting against the law, the state and the immigration/customs officers.
Please do it and then tell us how it went. Cause one thing is feeling dignified behind a keyboard and pretending to be brave to challenge the state; and another one is putting yourself in a nasty legal situation because you want to go against the system and its jurisprudence.
I don't know but I learns in college that if we want to change the LAW; we vote, we put pressure on our reps and we demand the congress and the senate to make those changes. Your idealistic stance is not gonna do much in this case except getting you in trouble. But yeah... go ahead let the keyboard go and take some action.
@Anon Person Starting a rebuttal with the word SAD and claiming that debating is a waste of time because the counter narrative goes against your narrative shows subjectivity which is not a good way to conduct any debate. Please grow up, we need objective, factual, adult conversation here. Facts and law don't care about your feelings.
When you say that "you were actually leading to what I said at the end" you assume that we have to somehow guess something you didn't even mentioned in first place. Well... If I had that skill I wouldn't be debating with you; instead I would be guessing the numbers of the next lottery draft.
I don't understand the phrase connected to a word you used: "intebtiin" so I'm not gonna comment on that.
Now... Where did I get the notion that you were suggesting resistance??
Well mayyyyybe because the person in the video was resisting the authority. then posting the event and you praised him while criticizing my position for contrasting what he did with how these situations are handled every day at the border and the legal frame connected to that.
Now... your comment about public who don't have platforms to be heard is way off of our times. I might understand that some people are Technological Ignorant in some areas such as cognitive technology, augmented/virtual/mixed reality, the Internet-of-things, Machine learning, 5G, natural language processing, robotic process automation or any of the new disrupting technologies; but something basic like posting and watching videos on youtube is kind of an underestimation of peoples' capabilities.
Madness,pure Madness.
ricardo simon uh !
My 2 cents. Prior to the corruption, hate and division of this administration in Washington. US Customs was different.
Traveling in general is tough physically and mentally. The last few times I travel outside the country, over 4 years ago, cbp officials were professional and made ne feel welcome. Respect to the few CBP who still do outstanding work for this country. Must be a really tough job. As for the rest of bad apples, they should be fired and charged with abuse of authority and incompetence. GBY
Boohoo! I remember 9/11. I've been detained and questioned more than once over two decades of traveling. So what?
Seems like citizen's rights are over with new administration.
wow, he handled that last 5 seconds well :)
An intelligent and calm man, a gentleman and a patriot, being detained by idiots who are tearing this country apart.
As a US Citizen I refuse to play their stupid intimidation games..... give me my passport and I am leaving!
My legal Mexican friend with husband and 2 children drove their nice truck to Mexico to visit family. Inside Mexico10-15 minutes police pulled them over and put a gun to the dads temple demanding money. Both the kids were napping. Driving a nice vehicle with US tag makes you a target. With that experience, they were afraid to stay, so they turned around to drive back to Alabama. They remained in Mexico less than 45 minutes. Problems everywhere making life hard. Praying vetting in US accomplishes desired results and over soon. Illegal immigrants can't stay in Mexico.Their directed to US borders, or they must go from where they came.
💘 San Diego!
I blame color of skin. Neither my name is American, nor my birth place so comforting (Iran!), I have never experienced such thing. Though, I am white and I think that's the first thing that comes to attention.
Why does this lady have to repeat each gentleman's full name each time she asks a question?
It happened to me! I was traveling from Mexico to Washington state- I am blind blue eyed my name is German- first and last- and was in a wheelchair to boot- they took my passport- and "lost" it for an hour-they took funny looking pieces of tape and stuck on me, my luggage my clothing and stuck it into a machine- I have been traveling to and from Baja California Sur since I was 10 years old! I was born in Los Angeles- I am a DAR( daughter of the American revolution)! My great great grandfather fought alongside with George Washington for Petes sake! He is listed in the battles, he was wounded several times! I'm more American than apple pie! Errrr an hour- later I spoke to a family of 5 who also was traveling from Mexico and they said every time they come home they are detained!
Errrrrrrr this is unamerican and starting to piss me off!
Thankfully Trump is toast now
Good to hear You are on the other side of the spectrum!!!
Creating enemies within great job America... while making enemies outside...
We the people made the government and we the people can tear down the government, unless they can fix all these issues with in the government!!!!
Darkwolfmoon Warrior Alpha people is dupped ,with TV shows seated in their cushy sofas ,they been brainwash beyond repair !!!
Egads, i am a white guy and have been selected for "additional screening" almost every time i go to the airport. I am not nor have ever been involved in an incident or been on a watch list or on a no fly list. Mostly its the circumstances of the ticket purchase itself, such as short round trips to foreign countries, last minute ticket purchases. So many reasons for doing it. They use the "random additional screening" as a cover for said screenings. To state the screenings are racially biased is ridiculous, but there may be some profiling involved. Deal with it or vote the policy makers out of office.
Wow im sorry to hear that that’s terrible what happen to u ....
“Democracy don’t rule this world! You’d better get that in your head! This world is ruled by violence, but I guess that’s better left unsaid!” Bob Dylan. Nobel Laureate.
Of course you were stopped for suing this evil creature
This is not what The United States stand for, what a sham
I was once pulled to the side by border patrol in Atlanta when I came back from Amsterdam. Honestly I was not surprised I had a beard and no gel so my hair with messy. Definitely stereotyped.
yeah, my white husband travelled this week, and not once did it occur to me that he would be detained - and he wasn't. I will say that when it came time to pick him up, the security guard had quite a fit when I stopped at the curb pick-up place - I understand that, but he wouldn't listen when I was trying to say he was on his way out. He was an ass, and I think they might just be feeling more comfortable picking on people these days.
jaykay415, obviously he’s not Muslim.
Sa Ul ,,
kou thao nonsense and idiocy is all this ignoramus cult know ......their even turning away trump surporters with their hate filled words ....
can we sue INS for these type of abuses?.
So much for America being the land of the free.
Mark my words, Trump and chumps actions are going to absolutely obliterate the US tourism industry. I feel bad for all those people who are going to be out of work. Where are they going to find jobs when tourism nosedives?
Digging coal, welding pipelines, or building The Wall? Or, making tea for Donald's friends at Mar A Lago?
The US doesn't need your tourist dollars. Take them all to Europe.
Karma is what happened here! I was stopped and searched by a police officer in this hick town Greenville North Carolina on the way to Boston and this officer asked me of "How i could afford to own the vehicle i was in" ?. Since i'm an Asian decent i was used to questions like this and when i told this racist officer that i worked for it, he made me stand beside my car in the sun until he checked me out. I have a lot of white friends and they have never been asked that kind of question before at a traffic stop that i'm sure of. It's awesome how this hicks get the taste of their own medicine and I love the fact that karma sure has a return address! I feel like I've gotten my revenge! LIFE IS GOOD!!!!
So what is the point of being a US citizen traveling with a US passport? The time it took is more than for a Permanent Resident being checked at the airport.
I flew to the States almost 20 years ago. The checks were ok, and the staff was really friendly. Seems all has changed since then.
Only two were detained to verify the validity of their passports? Out of how many million passengers?
Get real. This is not an issue. The sample is too small to indicate systematic discrimination.
Every time I travel to Miami international airport they put me in a interrogation room. I've been in there like at least 4 to 5 times I don't think I never landed in Miami airport without being in a interrogation room I kid you not.
Chaos !
If they told me I was not being detained then I would’ve walked out.
Omg!! I'm also a us citizens for 23 years is scary if something like that can happen to me so sad Hassan is a police officer come on unbelievable,so we have to travel with a passport and the citizens certificate
New slogan for Trump's followers - AMERICA THE LONLEY.
That is what them do ppl u all right to Sue him.
That's what's expected to occur.
The entire country should slap a class lawsuit on trump for causing PTSD to the public from his threats of nuclear war every week!
This is what I’ve been going through every time I go to visit overseas.
Not sure this is just a Trump thing. I've traveled a lot over the last decade and a half, and the TSA and other agents have always been garbage, no matter the administration. I've been detained for an hour before, a friend of mine was detained in 2016 for 2 hours because he had a stopover in Dubai and the agents wanted to know why, and wouldn't take "It was just a 2 hour airport stoppover" for an answer. It's been like this of you travel frequently overseas since the whole post-9/11 security apparatus came into effect. If you don't fly often you might have gotten lucky and never experienced it, but if you travel enough this garbage will happen to you every once in a while.
Same thing happen to me coming from Haiti I'm a us citizen in Florida I had to prove that I'm a us citizen
Citizenship is a privilege not a right. If you are a troublemaker, the President has the right to REVOKE citizenship granted to a foreigner.
ChurchofCryptos He is not a trouble maker. American tax payers, even naturalized ones have the right to challenge the government when they are being corrupt or abusive. It's called a democracy
ChurchofCryptos you are soooooooooo intelligent that I am blind by your light !!! ja ja ja ja ja ja
That will teach you not to sue our president. Mr. Trump has a long arm, I bet you thought you're a lawyer and think you can just talk your way out of it. You deserve to be checked! So deal with it and be grateful that you're even in this country.
True true true
Man, I'm beginning to have second thoughts about whether or not to still become a U.S. citizen. Should I just start to look at other countries??
Sorry you are angry. You should feel very proud that we have good boarder guards.
....................WAKE UP AMERICA.......WAKE UP!
YOU GUYS ARE SO RIGHT.PLEASE JUST GIVE YOUR MAJIC BALL TO THE COPS SO THEY CAN KNOW WHO YOU ARE,THAT WAY THEY WONT INCONVINIENCE YOU AGAIN..
Trump an his shit need to stop the guy is a us citizen
To do with the sound of your name.
Computers can't define nationality or culture.
Welcome to 2018.
DHS employment is not effective at all with vetting people who have barely hidden xenophobia’s tendencies. When working with these people their alarming shortcomings are quickly exposed.
