Attorney: Seven detained after disembarking cruise at Port Canaveral

Source: WFTV (ABC Orlando)

Customs agents detained seven people, mostly Syrian nationals, after they disembarked a Royal Caribbean cruise at Port Canaveral Sunday morning, according to a volunteer attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union.

Customs agents escorted the seven individuals into a room where they were held for 6 ½ hours before being released, the attorney said.

One of those detained was a Jewish refugee from Syria who has resided in the country for 20 years and her three children, who are U.S. citizens, the attorney said.

they entered the US legally on an airplane with a valid Mexican passport

The Great Wall of Trump will not stop 100 illegals a year

They'll continue it, and expand on it, until they are physically stopped—no matter what the courts say.
A la Kim Davis.

as he posted about passengers being detained when they got back into port. Since my friend said twelve were detained from his ship, it's highly possible that passengers are being detained willy-nilly from all cruise ships.

God damn Donald Trump and his ignorance.
