DHS does not deny strong-arming tourist into letting them into his phone, only that agents sent him home because of a meme
The story circulating online — first in Norwegian newspaper Nordlys and then picked up by British tabloids — claims that during Mikkelsen’s encounter with the Department of Homeland Security, agents took his phone and found a meme depicting Vance as a bloated, smooth, bald man staring off into the distance.
Mikkelsen claims that the officials threatened to fine him $5,000 or send him to prison for five years if he refused to provide them with his phone password. The tourist ultimately agreed to hand over his information, allowing agents to look through his phone.
The reports picked up enough steam in headlines and on social media to justify CBP putting out a statement denying parts of the story.
This is the sad part. My favorite uncle had a special connection to hanauma bay near Waikiki, but my mom can’t go there and remember him smiling and laughing and teaching my cousin to swim. We are all afraid that even us whiteboy Canucks will get separated in customs and never be seen again. And we’re wipepo from the most polite country on earth!
It’s almost assured that, after this term, if Hawaii hasn’t separated yet, that she’ll be too old to travel $afely. She’s getting a little fuddy now, in that she brings it up often, and tells me again for the first time about Uncle’s love of Hawaii and h bay … every time.
Trump’s people are dicks
Yes. If there are friends or family there maybe they could do a video call and walk around her favourite areas?
At this point it does not matter if you are white, pink, orange, brown, aquamarine or Oakville 70’s fuchsia. These vile asshats are drunk with power and are deporting people faster than the up and down of a hookers knickers at a convention.
Not worth anyone’s safety at this point. Being wiped from existence is a fact now in the states. Be safe.
Nah they ain’t, they just want it to look that way. They are desperate to find people to kick out, they are going to people’s jobs and waiting at their court cases. They are desperate for numbers, which is frankly more dangerous as they are looking for any excuse at this point.
