Tourist Barred from US Entry Over Vance Meme on Phone
A 21-year-old Norwegian tourist, Mads Mikkelsen, claims he was denied entry into the U.S. at Newark Liberty International Airport and accused authorities of harassment. He was reportedly questioned about potential involvement in illicit activities and placed in a holding cell. Mikkelsen alleges that officials demanded access to his phone, where they discovered a meme of Vice President J.D. Vance, which they disapproved of. Despite pleading that the meme was a joke, he was denied entry, had his blood drawn, and was put on a flight back to Norway, while the Department of Homeland Security has not commented.
