Detained because he was a Muslim. Born in the USA and USA passport holder.

Trump's airport goons have tangled with the wrong people here. Civil rights law suit protended.

Muhammad Ali Jr. detained by immigration officials at Fla. airport LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The son of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali was detained for hours by immigration officials earlier this month at a Florida airport, according to a family friend. Muhammad Ali Jr., 44, and his mother, Khalilah Camacho-Ali, the first wife of Muhammad Ali, were arriving at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on Feb. 7 after returning from speaking at a Black History Month event in Montego Bay, Jamaica. They were pulled aside while going through customs because of their Arabic-sounding names, according to family friend and lawyer Chris Mancini. Immigration officials let Camacho-Ali go after she showed them a photo of herself with her ex-husband, but her son did not have such a photo and wasn't as lucky. Mancini said officials held and questioned Ali Jr. for nearly two hours, repeatedly asking him, "Where did you get your name from?" and "Are you Muslim?" When Ali Jr. responded that yes, he is a Muslim, the officers kept questioning him about his religion and where he was born. Ali Jr. was born in Philadelphia in 1972 and holds a U.S. passport. “To the Ali family, it's crystal clear that this is directly linked to Mr. Trump's efforts to ban Muslims from the United States.” Family friend and lawyer Chris Mancini The line of questioning is indicative of profiling and designed to produce answers that corroborate what officials want to hear, Mancini said. Neither Camacho-Ali nor Ali Jr. have ever been subjected to detainment before, despite extensive global travel experience, he said. "To the Ali family, it's crystal clear that this is directly linked to Mr. Trump's efforts to ban Muslims from the United States," Mancini said, referring to President Trump's executive order signed Jan. 27 that instituted a ban for citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries. Officials at the Fort Lauderdale airport did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday. While Ali Jr. was detained, Camacho-Ali ran around the airport asking, "Where's my son?" and begging for help, according to Mancini. Because incidents involving customs officials are considered to be on federal soil, local police had no jurisdiction to help her. Ali Jr. was eventually released two hours later, and the family contacted Mancini the following day. Mancini said he and the Ali family are contemplating filing a federal lawsuit and are currently trying to find out how many other people have been subjected to the same treatment as Ali Jr. "Imagine walking into an airport and being asked about your religion," he said. "This is classic customs profiling."

They're following FD's policy to the letter. Detaining them and asking them repeatedly, "are you, or have you ever been, a Muslim?"

Another useful FD policy taken up by the Trump administration. Thanks, FD, for a job well done.

I'm a firm believer in racial & ethnic profiling, especially if security & lives are at stake.

Bruised feelings are better than body bags.


BTW.....feel free to call me any name you wish.....I won't feel offended....I don't subscribe to political correctness......I refuse to temper my remarks because some might feel uncomfortably offended...

Well yes, but I'm wondering how Panther would like being detained and interrogated in an airport.

Before the court order overturned Mr Trump's executive order, people were held for up to 3 days.

Would you enjoy it, Panther?

Probably not, but I would be happy that someone is actually keeping their eyes open & checking, rather that just blindly letting unknowns past.....that's more important.

Like I said though we won't be finding out anytime soon....I'm a homebody. http://www.s22.site88.net/smileys/cleanteeth09.gif

Because American History has always intrigued/fascinated me. America was the first in the world's history where ordinary people governed themselves......self-governance, where the government acts with the permission of the people, & not the other way around. Where the People must approve authority to a government, to govern in their behalf, restrained by the rule of law......a Constitution.
