A Muslim American mayor of a New Jersey town says border patrol agents wrongfully detained him and kept his phone when he arrived at JFK International Airport last month after returning from a vacation in Turkey.

Mohamed Khairullah, the mayor of Prospect Park, New Jersey since 2005, told CNN he was pulled aside and detained for three hours by US Customs and Border Protection agents when he and his family got off the plane.The questioning started out innocently enough — a CBP agent asked him standard questions like about where he traveled from and who he visited.

The mayor said he has"not ruled out legal action" against CBP over the incident. Anthony Bucci, a Public Affairs Specialist with U.S. Customs and Border Protection's New York Office, told CNN the agency was"not at liberty to discuss an individual's processing due to the Privacy Act.

We are at a point that wrongdoings in The US is common, sad truth but not surprising ltns110

So...what's the problem

FakeNewsCNN

If this is done at random and because of where he visited there’s no problem in my eyes they are doing their jobs and when we start taking away their rights to do their jobs we endanger people

So liberal cnn! They were being cautious. Better safe than sorry!

It happened last month and yet we’re just now hearing about it seems like it’s a non-story you’re trying to put out to deflect on the fact your a FakeNewsMedia

Border patrol agents be like

I'm for the security of the country and if a few questions is all that it took to insure the safety of our citizens I'm all for it!!

Men, women families are detained all the time. If they are treated with respect well that’s life now in the US. Proud of our POTUS AND ICE AGENTS FOR BEING ON THE BALL!Well done!

Turkey is the next Iran. They did their job!!!!

Yeah but when this happens to a white guy CNN stays silent

T HE OTHER TEACHER HAD A FUNNY HAIR SHADE WAS MOUSY OR DARK WITH GRAY SHORT HAIR & WAS talking about stubby fingers & Y SENSED she WAS TALKING ABOUT MY HANDS & Y LOOKED AT MY HANDS & she WAS watching ME Y WAS CLOWNING AROUND WHEN LOOKED AT MY HANDS Y THINK she WAS referring to ME

👋 BORDER👋PATROL👋 WELL👋DONE👋

Violins---LOL I am an older white woman. Got a very aggressive pat down by a TSA agent. I could complain and play the victim card -- or realize they are trying to protect us all. I choose the latter.

Wow crazy

🤦🏽‍♀️

Sooooo what's the problem?

Muslim American is sort of like a Christian American, just with different rights.

Yes. When it comes to Radical Islamic Terrorists - THEIR INSANITY proves to be Very Inconvenient for normal, average people.

The era of Trump realDonaldTrump is upon us, get with the program

One morning when I was young, detectives came to my house to ask questions about a car break-in that I knew nothing about. Racism? I'm a white male.

No surprise just because he is muslim he must be in contact with terrorists. stopislamphobia

soledadobrien I think everyone from New Jersey should be detained.

oh well

So you changed the account of what happened from the last time this was posted and reran for effect.. Anyone that believes the propaganda CNN runs should seek help...

soledadobrien That's trumps goon squad just like the Gestapo did under Hitler

Dude, instead of being outraged maybe you should be inconvenienced for Americas safety. They pull ppl who visit countries who associate with terrorists. Not profiling, precautions being taken.

Me too. I'm not even Muslim (Asian). No reasons given, no indication of why. Can't complain because they may choose to keep you there for longer. This is America now.

Good. Better safe than sorry.

igneousidol Whatta horror story. ImpeachTheMF

An immigration officer profiling. Duh.

And I'm sure it was strictly because he was Muslim 🙄🙄🙄

Good, that’s what they should do when they are suspicious of someone and it should happen to me also as a White male. Better safe than sorry.

Discrimination against a person of a nationality. Racism!

cherish my destiny 🤞🏻🤣 cherish good joy 🐬💦🙏🏻

They meant every minute. Border Patrol was made of, by, and for White Supremacists to get their rocks off. Just like the TSA.

Toronto Raptors are selling a team-branded hijab for Muslim women athletesIn June, they became the first Canadian team to win an NBA Championship. This week, they became the first team to sell a branded hijab, the headscarf worn by many Muslim women. YEAH THEY'RE ALL HEROS. 🙄 No branded yarmulke? I guess a yarmulke is far less woke than a hijab and they're trying to earn social credit with the kind of people who saw the lack of branded hijabs as a legitimate issue facing the Muslim community. More power to them I guess, doesn't affect me in any way.
