[quote] The traveler’s accusations are blatantly false and sensationalized,” CBP officials said in a statement to CNN affiliate WMUR. “CBP officers acted in accordance with established protocols. Upon arrival at the port of entry, the traveler was appropriately referred to secondary inspection –[b] a routine, lawful process that occurs daily and can apply for any traveler[/b].”[/quote]

It’s a random stop. I’m as white as can be and had the secondary inspection flagged a few years ago. It’s like the random TSA flag. Not everything is drama. [/quote]
Were you also handcuffed, placed in a cell, and demanded to unlock your cellphone while the agents  rummaged through your phone data. If not, STFU you fascist. [/quote]

Calling me a Facist does not change the fact noting illegal was done here. Educate yourself on the laws before getting offended over something that happens everyday. Mine was in 2014, remind me who was President….[/quote]
Did you forget you told us that you were not handcuffed and not detained for hours. And you are a fascist for blaming the victim when you make purely speculative assumptions of how the victims reacted towards a fascist state. But of course, you [b]also reminded everyone of your whiteness, so there’s that. [/b][/quote]

Only to show it’s not race based like you want to assume. You got me, I’m a facist, feel better now?[/quote]

But it is race based. On a random stop, of which happened to me last year in canada, I was asked a few extra questions. Never asked for my phone and we moved straight on.

I certainly wasn't thrown in a cell like this and the other at least 25 people who came forward in 2017.

We are doing the same stuff under this administration we did back then which is not the same as our random pullovers

Why is it so hard for you to accept?[/quote]

Because I was stopped in 2014. I was moved to a building, and asked for my phone.

Why is it so hard for you to accept it’s happened for years before Trump?[/quote]

You’re really exaggerating that “moved to a building” like it was so ominous. [b]  And I’m pretty sure you’re lying about them asking for your phone[/b]. [/quote]

DP. How many different people here need to post that they DO ask for your phone, and post links to prove it’s common? Also "moved to a building" you can’t leave from would freak out most people. [/quote]

I see one person talking about being pulled over for an inspection and trying to compare it to the jailed couple.   And once they pull you over you can’t leave whether you go into the building or sit in your car.   You work with them to resolve the issue.

I don’t know why we had to pull out of line so they could search our car and interrogate our kids but no jail or handcuffs.  And the building is like a small office building.  Not scary at all.  Especially if you’re White. [/quote]

:roll: Please you have no credibility. CBP has temporary holding cells at the Canadian border crossings, particularly at local bridge crossings like the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls. These cells are used to detain individuals, including families with children. CBP officials describe holding people increasingly for a number of days or weeks. While CBP doesn't explicitly have permanent, large-scale detention facilities like a prison at the Canadian border, these temporary holding cells are a common practice and similar to a jail holding cell.

It’s a cell where detainees can be placed in restraints or kept locked in. It’s not a waiting room. [/quote]
