Couple detained on honeymoon ‘because the groom is Muslim’ (Trump's fault!!!)
U.K. Metro ^ | 7/25/2017 | Ashitha Nagesh

Posted on 12/29/2017 1:31:15 PM PST by simpson96

A newlywed couple’s honeymoon was ruined after they were detained in a US airport for 26 hours and then deported, apparently because the groom was Muslim.

Natasha Politakis, 29, and her new husband Ali Gul, 32, paid £7,000 for their dream two-week trip to LA, Hawaii and Las Vegas – and were naturally really looking forward to it.

But they ended up having to spend more than a day in LAX airport in Los Angeles, before being refused entry entirely and flown back to the UK.

While in the detention centre, they were refused a shower and had all of their possessions confiscated. They were only given their phones back when they were back on British soil.

When they tried to find out why they were detained, officials handcuffed them and marched them onto a flight back to London.

Although they were never told why they were denied entry, Natasha suspects it was because of her husband’s Turkish name and origin. Ali is British, however, and holds a British passport.

‘I am in utter shock that this has happened,’ she said. ‘We had just got married, we were on our way to our honeymoon as excited as anything, and never expected that we would be deported.

‘We were treated like criminals and we had all the relevant documentation and answered all their questions. ‘It’s not OK to treat people like that. As far as we knew before we left everything was fine, but as soon as we got there they wouldn’t let us in. ‘We believe that since Trump was elected, they took one look at his name, thought he was Muslim and didn’t let him in.’

“Visas held by individuals subject to the Electronic Visa Update System (EVUS) who have not complied with the conditions described in 8 CFR 215.24 or whose notification of compliance has expired or been rescinded are automatically provisionally revoked and are no longer valid for travel to the United States, without further notice to the visa holder.”

And the specific cite written in red across the visa:
“The alien is notified pursuant to INA 235 by an immigration officer at a port of entry that the alien appears to be inadmissible to the United States, and the alien requests and is granted permission to withdraw the application for admission; “

Obviously there is more to this story than playing the race or religion card.

May it was because he was an Ali Gul.

“They were never told the reason” becomes “because he is m*slim” in the headline.

Anybody have a list of the things Trump has been blamed for?

I wish that were true.

Then there would be A LOT more refusals and deportations going on.

But sadly, the Moslems keep coming in.

Well, I can’t find my car keys. I’m pretty sure that is Trump’s fault. Putin probably had something to do with it too.
