MAGA Dad, Trump supporter, 40 years in US on green card, Blocked from reentry after Canada vacation [View all]

“I’ve been torn from my family. My life has been disregarded completely.”


A New Hampshire man is facing a lot of uncertainty as he tried to
return home from a trip from Canada. He was blocked. says he's lived here in New
Hampshire for over 40 years. He goes back and forth to Canada at least once a year and has never
had a problem until now. I'm a legal resident, green card holder. I have been since 1981.

Chris Landry has lived in New Hampshire since he was three years old. He has a partner,
five children and a job in manufacturing. He was stopped at the border in Houlton, Maine, on
Sunday while returning from a family vacation to Canada. They pulled me aside and started
questioning me about my past convictions in New Hampshire. Three hours later, the 46 year
old was told he couldn't come home despite having a green card and being a legal U.S. Resident.

they denied me reentry and said, don't come back or we will. We will detain you. And the only
way for me to get back in was to see an immigration judge. In 2004 and 2007, Landry faced
charges of marijuana possession and driving with a suspended license, but says he's had no
criminal record since he was given a suspended sentence and paid his fines. So I never
thought that that would threaten my, my, my status as a resident

he couldn't vote for president,
but he did support Donald Trump.

"I was definitely, you know, all for Make America Great Again and
having a strong, unified country and a and a, you know, bright
future for my five American children. But now I feel a little differently"

“I was definitely all for ‘Make America Great Again’ and having a strong, unified country and a bright future for my five American children, but now I feel a little differently,” he told NBC Boston. “I’ve been torn from my family. My life has been disregarded completely.”

Landry was detained for three hours at the port of entry in Houlton, Maine, and was questioned about decades-old charges for marijuana possession and driving under a suspended license. He told NBC Boston that he was convicted of those charges in 2004 and 2007 and paid fines for both. He said that he received a suspended 60-day prison sentence for each charge and has not had any other run-ins with the law.

That did not stop border agents from treating him like a criminal, he said.
