This is so stupid, it must be true. "Mr Mikkelsen claimed the officers then threatened him with a $5,000 fine or five years in prison if he refused to give the password to his mobile phone." Face palm.


.................The tourist was then subjected to what he described to Norwegian outlet Nordlys as an 'abuse, of power and harassment'.

'They asked questions about drug trafficking, terrorist plots and right-wing extremism totally without reason,' he told the outlet.

Mikkelsen said after discovering the image the authorities sent him home to Norway the same day.

1. I don't think the right wing knows how much white people

in other countries hate them.

[Karasu]

2. This is ridiculous. No one should be rejected from entering the country based on fucking

memes and social media posts (and it damn well wouldn't be happening under an actual administration, unlike this fascist regime). It's absurd that we're even wasting our time and resources doing this all of a sudden.

Republicans normalize the most unthinkable, unprecedented shit just for the fucking hell of it.

[IA8IT]

3. Our "Snowflake" administration is disgusting

[Timeflyer]

4. A flight attendant at an April Tesla protest warned me about this, saying anyone entering or returning to US

should wipe their mobile phone history.

[Grins]

5. Sure this isn't a hoax? A setup?

Wild as it reads I wondering….

[The Madcap]

6. Well, this entire site is in trouble then

But you know what? At least we're not them...

[groundloop]

7. ICE or Customs & Border Protection?

It's Customs that deals with incoming passengers, not ICE.

This story sounds a bit off.

[kimbutgar]

8. Way to hurt our international tourism even more doing shit like this Ice idiots!

[JoseBalow]

9. Pic related

[mdbl]

12. was that before or after his diet?

[Buddyzbuddy]

10. OMG! How is it that man wasn't immediately

taken into custody and sent to a blacksite for further interrogation?

[mdbl]

11. That'll teach him for coming to visit a fascist country run by a bunch of morons.

[SunSeeker]

13. K & R for exposure.

[Picaro]

14. As much as I'd like to believe it...

There’s something off about this story.

ICE at a port of entry? The story refers to them as “guards”?

Doesn’t pass the sniff test.

17. Okay...

Airports are unique entry and exit points for the US, so your rights vary based on your immigration or citizenship status. You're more likely to encounter CBP (Customs and Border Patrol), though ICE can also be present and often works alongside CBP, as both agencies are part of the Department of Homeland Security.

15. Over reach, bigtime

And now the entire planet has seen this silly meme, once again making the US the laughing stock of the world.

[ShazzieB]

16. I hope hell this story isn't for real.

I could easily believe that it is true, but I agree that there's something off about it.

We are truly living in a crazy world, when it's this hard to tell what's true and what isn't.
