US officials forced to share bald JD Vance meme by denying tourist’s claim he was denied entry over photo
DHS does not deny strong-arming tourist into letting them into his phone, only that agents sent him home because of a meme
Customs and Border Protection has confirmed that, no, agents did not stop a Norwegian traveler who showed them a meme of a bald Vice President JD Vance.
“Fact Check: FALSE,” the CBP wrote on X. “Mads Mikkelsen was not denied entry for any memes or political reasons, it was for his admitted drug use.”
And no, the agency is not referring to Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen, but rather the similarly named 21-year-old who was denied entry at Newark Liberty International Airport on June 11.
Streisand Effect strikes again
A Norwegian newspaper got to see his letter of denial and it didn't list drug use at all. Rather they said he tried to enter the country to get a job illegally.
At this point, CBP's story keeps changing, and I don't trust anything they say.

The exact meme in case anyone wants to avoid it for um... Legal purposes.
Under no circumstances should you share this image. We must send this to everyone we know to be absolutely certain all our friends and family know about this so they don't unknowingly have it on their phone. It's our patriotic duty to share this with as many people as possible.
I read your username as ChinWeasel and thought heh, username checks out oddly enough.
I do in fact want to "avoid it" for legal purposes.
What a shit show.
Europeans, this is the best time to troll America right now.
I think Americans are trolled enough by Trump and his administration.
It's pretty hard to measure up to that level of trolling. It's so bad they are trolling people to death over there!Haha no more medicare for you! lol
Haha your papers are wrong, away to Venezuela you go. lol
Haha Your pregnancy is putting your life in danger, but no doctor will help you. lol
Haha you complained about high prices under biden, but I (Trump) will make them even higher, with no wage compensation. lol
Americans are having a blast with how funny things are now.

I want to change his portrait on wikipedia to this
That would be vandalism... but there's probably a section where it would be perfectly legitimate, like "Controversies"
Gonna get this framed
when someone says this chapter in history books is going to be wild....this.
this is what I imagine the pages filled with.
This is the most possible exposure the meme could get. Guaranteed JD saw it. Sucks for the Norwegian but absolutely hilarious that the fascists have to acknowledge unflattering pictures.
Great way of spreading the meme, whether or not this is true, I say well played!
Man, all that friction against his couch did a number to his hair
