Muhammad Ali's son detained and questioned about his religion

[Va Lefty]

"Muhammad Ali’s son Muhammad Ali Jr. revealed that he was detained for a few hours and questioned about his religion on Feb. 7 while returning to Florida from Jamaica."

“This is an outrage,” says Chris Mancini, a former federal prosecutor and friend of the family. “I don’t know what is going on with Mr. Trump’s claim that his ban is not religion-based. We do not discriminate in this country based on religion.”

Sorry Mr. Mancini but apparently we now do.
God bless America, but only the right God!

2. Since when do we question American citizens about ANYTHING!

It's not just the religious part of the question, but the very act of questioning. What the hell is going on!!??!!

Please note this

Two weeks ago, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously voted to refuse to reinstate Donald Trump’s Muslim ban. That hasn’t completely stopped arbitrary detentions at airports, and this morning, Muhammad Ali’s son Muhammad Ali Jr. revealed that he was detained for a few hours and questioned about his religion on Feb. 7 while returning to Florida from Jamaica.

Ali Jr.’s mother and ex-wife were also detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the airport. CBP declined to comment on the case, although they asserted their right to inspect travelers returning to the U.S. The family’s attorney, however, called bullshit on that claim, since the Alis were specifically questioned about their religion.

I hope they sue
