[quote=Anonymous]I have been detained three times at Dulles with my European born husband when he had a visa and a green card. Each time the immigration agent claimed there was no record of either of us leaving the country so how could we be coming back in if we never left.  Accused of faking our own identity.  Twice I was accused of trying to smuggle in a different male other than my DH and allowing him the right to use my DH's passport (it was my DH). We are white. We don't have unusual names. This was during W's first term, one time even before 9/11.

It was terrible. Once we were separated and I was bullied to admit guilt and it was like a bad movie.  That time I had to get my employer on the phone to fax verification that I worked there and under their HR files my tax info.  The other two times I refused to be separated.  The last time we were detained and put in that special room at Dulles we were the only nonMuslim people there. When his green card was approved the detainments stopped.

Being held is incredible frightening.  You do not have many rights, even if you are a citizen.  And even if you do have rights, hat doesn't mean they will be honored.  It can even happen to a US citizen. We should all be incredibly concerned about how these people are being treated.  Saying being held is no big deal, it is. [/quote]
