This is so stupid, it must be true. "Mr Mikkelsen claimed the officers then threatened him with a $5,000 fine or five years in prison if he refused to give the password to his mobile phone." Face palm.
.................The tourist was then subjected to what he described to Norwegian outlet Nordlys as an 'abuse, of power and harassment'.
'They asked questions about drug trafficking, terrorist plots and right-wing extremism totally without reason,' he told the outlet.

(2,003 posts)memes and social media posts (and it damn well wouldn't be happening under an actual administration, unlike this fascist regime). It's absurd that we're even wasting our time and resources doing this all of a sudden.
Republicans normalize the most unthinkable, unprecedented shit just for the fucking hell of it.

This story sounds a bit off.

(16,799 posts)Airports are unique entry and exit points for the US, so your rights vary based on your immigration or citizenship status. You're more likely to encounter CBP (Customs and Border Patrol), though ICE can also be present and often works alongside CBP, as both agencies are part of the Department of Homeland Security.

We are truly living in a crazy world, when it's this hard to tell what's true and what isn't.
