This guy was certainly flagged before he got on the plane in Norway. The US has data sharing agreements with lots of countries. His online behaviour was already known. The Trump administration changed the filters for what they're looking for in people's profiles. This guy fit.
If you are going to upset the empire with your on and offline behaviour, you better practice solid information hygene.
- knorker 1y agoThen why was his ESTA approved?
- delfinom 1y agoESTA is a farce to justify a fee to funnel into the country's endless debt hole.
- account42 1y agoYour ESTA approval clearly states that it does not grant you a right to enter the US and that the final decision will only be made at the border. So he was likely flagged but still may have had a chance to enter depending on the outcome of the border interrogation.
- knorker 1y agoYeah, but my point was as a reply to the claim that it was clearly something else that denied him entry. Which it could still be. ESTA was granted because it was a "maybe". Then they found something at the border that was not in meme form, that the article doesn't mention. Maybe he had no pre booked return ticket, was claiming to stay with a friend he didn't have the address of, and then the meme was the last (albeit tiny) straw. My experience with CBP is that if you answer "wrong" (including saying that you only have the hotel name on your phone, which you are not allowed to check at the desk), then you need something "right", like a business card, to dig yourself out.
