Man 'refused entry into US' as border control catch him with bald JD Vance meme

Our leaders are NOT Snowflakes or Emotional!

This not only has been going on awhile, it's worse than it sounds.

A French scientist was denied entry at the border earlier this year, in March, after officers unearthed messages criticising Trump on his phone.

Mikkelsen explained: "They threatened me with a minimum fine of $5,000 or five years in prison if I refused to provide the password to my phone."

This can't be true because conservatives always cry about free speech.

If this is true then that means conservatives are massive hypocritical assholes.

imagine going on holiday in a country where they check your phone for memes

seeing the grand canyon seems cool but it can wait until that lunatic and his friends are gone

The United States is such a shithole country lol

No one should travel there.

US is China now.

Please be satire, please be satire...

Same thing i asked the other guy who posted this.

Do you have a source that isn’t a tabloid? The only other sources i found were other tabloids.

I’m sure horrible shit is happening but tabloids aren't news. They are meant to get an emotional reaction via mistruths and exaggeration. And you having a one day old account makes this even more suspect.

See - this is the thing with people going on about how its so oppressive in countries outside of "The West" where they will arrest people for insulting their king on Facebook or some shit.

We are no better. I'm not American but Britain does the same kind of shit. Read some declassified police case files, the cops pick on weird shit on people's phones.

But, but Elon told me comedy was legal now!

If you are doing any international travel, leave your personal phone at home and bring a burner.

JD Vance meme

No, that’s just how he looks.

Just get a burner to travel. Quit bringing your phones here.

Do they have the right to search your phone ?

not reading that. lemmy devs, please get on blocking "news" sources in the vein of sun, nypost, etc.

edit: I don't mean the mods should ban domains. I want the option to not show submissions from certain domains, like the ones I mentioned, as there's zero chance I'd ever read anything from them. a buncha reddit (and lemmy) clients have that option.

He claims he was then strip-searched, forced to give blood samples, a facial scan and fingerprints.

Imagine having your biometrics taken and your blood forcibly siphoned by state-backed goons with guns for a meme.

Heads need to roll.

Lets teach that uneducated moron Vance the Streisand effect.

Welcome to the new authoritarian America. Brought to you by craven politicians and a huge group of dipshits who consistently vote against their best interests because they only consume information straight from the sewer pipe that is fox news. Free speech is under threat more with each passing day, and once the Palantir database is complete, they are really going to go all out with their oppression.

Magas hate freedom

That's a paddlin'

nazis are snowflakes

It's for the best, really.

This themakes the USA look like we're a bunch of petty bitches. WTF is this bullshit, cowardly border agents. Seriously we're a kakistocracy with a bunch of elected officials and appointed officials that are thin skinned pussies.

While you are all memeing fascism advances, great job all

US department of anti-tourism working hard lol
