The Attorneys of a 22-year-old Palestinian man say their client was detained by immigration authorities at Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport for nine days.
According to a statement from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Muhanad J. M. Alshrouf obtained a U.S. immigrant visa before flying to Houston to visit his father on a flight from Dubai on July 5.
Alshrouf reportedly spent days in a secondary screening room at the airport before being released on the evening of July 14. He was not allowed to obtain legal counsel, a change of clothes, or proper food, and authorities gave no reason for his release.
Well, what the fuck are people still doing traveling to America? It’s no longer a lesser evil. There is more risk of death and disappearance for a non-cishet/non-pale person on the doorstep of America than fucking Dubai
Yeah… This is the kind of crazy shit we American kids were told in the 80s, by parents who only ever lived during the cold war, to scare us about the communist countries on the other side of the world.
At this point, unless the nationality is Usonian, it’s just business as usual.
