Did they also detain her escort? I am assuming that since she wears a hijab, her owner sent her out in public with a male relative as an escort.

Well ...

Your name is not one that just jumps at me and says “this is a famous US Athlete”, so it really doesn’t matter how much “Bling” you have. Or did you try to USE that when talking to the Customs Officer?

Were you traveling with your US Passport? Presenting anything else is unlawful. Were other people traveling with you that were not US Citizens?

Did you ASK, politely, why you were being detained at Customs? Normally they will at least tell you something like “we are checking your paperwork” or something.

You were detained at Customs? Then this had nothing to do with the EO because that only pertains to immigration / entry, not what you have in your bags.

Lastly, “a few weeks ago” implies heavily that you are not talking about last week. The EO was issued on the 27th which 13 days ago.

We’ve been asked for other identifying information and have had to wait several times at airports in the USA. I was asked for a prayer card or printed name card a couple of times because I answered the question, “What were your purposes abroad, Sir?” with “I do Christian missionary work.” I have never been offended.

..."war is deceit" (Hadith 4:269) and Islam specifically provides the coinage of jihad economies :

I agree. Maybe she visited her local Mosque to get “guidance” as to how to make an incident out of this.

Muslim-American Olympian says she was detained by Customs

And this dumbo can’t figure out the problem. It is right there; Muslim!

The answer should be, I’m sorry you can’t ever come back.
