that the trip to Turkey to visit family started off rocky. He held up his 14-month-old's boarding pass. It was marked with"SSSS" — secondary security screening selection — or"the highest level of search," he said. Khairullah is married with four children.
"They started asking me, 'do you know about any terrorist groups forming over there, or did you meet any terrorists?' And that’s when I felt insulted after serving my community for over 18 years as an elected official," Khairullah said in the video he posted on YouTube Sunday."I felt that I was selected basically because of my name and identity."
"It is profiling. It happens every day to American citizens who happen to be Muslim," Mohamed said."And the only reason they’re taken back to secondary inspection and questioned that way is because of their faith, what they happen to be wearing, and what direction they pray." "All of these hours of community service obviously doesn’t matter when my name is Mohamed Khairullah," he said during the news conference.
So sorry. Terrible.
By the way, many white American women married to turks with Turkish last names have the same security on their ticket and get the same screening. It’s all in the interest of safety.
Sad
Profiling works much better than TSA and its thieving agents.
NO American citizen should have their phone/tablet/computer seized without a warrant!
As Allah said (Many of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves even after the truth has become clear to them...)
Better question...Why was he in Turkey?
I believe I was racially profiled when I checked out at the grocery store. I believe it ultimately didn’t matter and had little to no impact. I believe the news media behaves like a group of junior high kids.
The Mayor is not safe from Trump. This behavior is similar to Hitler
Of course he was profiled. Just look at who’s running this game, StephenMiller, the one and only, the devout Muslin hater. The one who co-wrote the “Muslim ban” executive order. The little Nazi tyrant!
Hmmmm...let me count all the hours I’ve spend waiting in TSA lines...because of a Middle-eastern death cult.

Quit whining mayor.... Oh and A BIG WELCOME TO AMERICA😊😊
This is upsetting.
Is it racial profiling when they harass any other passengers, including flight crew that aren't working that flight, but are taking the flight to get to a flight that they are scheduled to work on? Welcome to having the government protect you.
They do this to everyone
He was helped his family had to wait for him.. face it turkey is anniffy character ...but a quick Google could have proved he was who he was..
Law Enforcement Just doing their Jobs .... remember “No One is Above the Law “ As you LameStreamMedia people keep reminding us !! 👍🏻
Don't blame the CBP! You were 'dimed out' long before you and your family left Turkey to come back to Prospect Park, NJ
Professional Muslim Victim Syndrome !
It’s for our safety Be put out like the rest of us👹👹
How about it was just because he was just being an a**hole? When are you LIBERAL DIMS going to stop with your agenda? Sooo tiring!
So what? What did he do to provoke the need to hold him? No problem with them holding the family. Safety first.
Americans do the exact same..fricking politics
Just doing their job
