Khizr Khan cancels Toronto trip after being told his travel privileges are being ‘reviewed’: reports
Raw Story ^ | 03/06/2017 | Brad Reed

Khizr Khan, the Muslim American Gold Star father who famously railed against President Donald Trump at last year’s Democratic National Convention, has cancelled a planned speech he was scheduled to give in Toronto after being informed that his travel privileges are “under review.”

Rosa Hwang, a senior producer at CTV National News, reports that Khan received word that his privileges were under review on Sunday evening. It is not clear from Khan’s account who has put him under review.

“This turn of events is not just concerning to me, but to all my fellow Americans who cherish our freedom to travel abroad,” said Khan, whose son, U.S. Army Capt. Humayun S.M. Khan, died in Iraq in 2004. “I have not been given any reason as to why.”

The only people that can deny him entry is Canada. This reeks of fake news.

Terrorist past and present coming home to roost. Deport him, definitely don’t let him return if he leaves. Canada can have him if they want.

+1 on the Fake News Angle.

Restricted from traveling to Canada? Bull Cheese. Canada would LOVE this anti-American muzzie.

I’d bet serious money this Khan Klown is making all this up for some tea and sympathy.

...“U.S. Customs & Border Protection does not contact travelers in advance of their travel out of the United States,” the federal agency said....

The trip most likely cancelled due to poor ticket sales for his appearance. A face saving move.

This is the Muzzie lawyer guy whose daily bread & butter was raping US immigration Law, and who stood on his son’s CORPSE and politically berated the people who put up with him.

The Canadians won’t let him in the country because they think he’s GHENGIS Khan. :-P

Actually, Canada has some very strict visa restrictions for foreign visitors.

If you are American and have a DWI on your record, you can’t be granted entry. You’re basically considered one step below a convicted serial rapist.

Shut up and eat your bacon, Khan, you kaffir dog.

He is a son of monkeys and pigs.

How stupid is this guy? America does not grant “travel privileges” and hence cannot withdraw them. If he can’t go to Toronto suddenly, it’s probably due to a passport or credentials issue on Canada’s end. US govt. has no authority to stop a US citizen from traveling outside the country - although once they do, we should be requiring valid ID upon their return.

I feel badly for Mr. Khan losing his brave son, but frankly find it unseemly to continue trading on his heroism to advance what we now know to be left-leaning talking points

"The only people that can deny him entry is Canada. This reeks of fake news."

Fake news for sure. Quote from the article:

"U.S. Customs and Border Protection told Daily Dot it does not contact travelers before they leave the United States."

I may have missed it, but I couldn't even find in the article, which country he claims is reviewing his travel privileges.

I doubt the Department of U.S. Customs and Border Protection contacts anyone ahead of time. Why should they, especially if they have plans to seize someone who is on a wanted list. They're not in the travel business for God's sake, so why should they make what compares to a "wake up" call to travelers.

The muzzie lawyer who specializes in getting Visas for other muzzies, is having trouble getting himself over the border.
