He is very lucky to be a US citizen. The FBI has treated non-citizens much much worse. For example [0], the FBI arrested Syrian-Canadian engineer Maher Arer while he changed planes in USA. The FBI imprisoned him without charges, denied him a lawyer, and then kidnapped him and delivered him to a prison in Syria where he was tortured for 10 months. His wife finally got the Canadian government to intervene and get him out. The head of RCMP (Canada's FBI) resigned in shame for letting it happen. All of the US people responsible continued with their lives as before. A few of them apologized. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_Arar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_Arar
