'Norwegian Tourist Detained By ICE Then Sent Home From Newark Airport For Having Bald JD Vance Meme On His Phone' [View all]
"A Norwegian tourist said he was harassed and refused entry into the U.S. after he was detained by immigration officers at Newark Airport who found a bald JD Vance meme on his phone. No, I'm not joking. Mads Mikkelsen no relation to the actor he shares a name with had the privilege of flying into Newark on June 11 for an American vacation, but that soon fell apart."
"The 21-year-old says he was pulled aside by border control and thrown in a holding cell. He was then subjected to what he described as 'abuse, of power and harassment,' according to the Daily Mail. Mikkelsen says agents asked him questions about drug trafficking, terrorist plots and right-wing extremism without giving him any reason as to why this was all happening. He also claimed the officers threatened him with a $5,000 fine or five years in prison if he refused to give them the password to his cell phone."
