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.’

Is this just their side of the story ?
> I gotta admit — she’s pretty hot. <
That’s only temporary. Check back after her husband has beat her for various offenses. And remember, acid attacks are not out of the question.
Muslim man, before marriage: “I will make you my princess.”
Muslim man, after marriage: “You whore! Take this. And this. And this.”
We should Shut Down All Tourism from Europe now that are fully infiltrated with terrorists.
As I keep reading the report, the name keeps seeming to be;
Ali Gul Ufuk (illegal you f**k)
Is this some kind of weird joke for getting press time?
“Ufuk Gul... LOL.”
Is that his name or what he did on his honeymoon?
Some stories just write themselves.
Ufuk Gul
The Daily Mail has more detail. If I’m understanding this correctly, he applied for a 90 day ESTA visa, but received a 10 year business visa instead that he should not have had.
The wife was rejected on INA 217 grounds—the travel ban.
They were handcuffed for ‘trying to find out what was going on’. I will leave that to your imaginations.

Good
Yes!!
They sure do....this takes the cake today!!
Were the pilot's names Ho Lee Fuk, Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, and Bing Dang Ow?
But it will be for he own good so she doesn’t start thinking she has rights or something.
Lived and worked in Ankara Turkey while on active duty. Every time we came back via the airport, we passed the gigantic sign for UFUK University on the highway. Always wanted one of their shirts.
Consider another angle.
Now I’ve got AC/DC songs in my head:
“Whole lotta rosie!”
She eats any of that cake she will be an event horizon as well as a bride!
Good. Detain some more and send them packing. Bet there’s more to this story, like his various cousins were already here on expired visas.
I was going to say it won’t be long before she will experience what other women have experienced when they’ve married muslim men....Too stupid to run, I guess!
Makes me cringe......
“An immigration officer is authorized to revoke a valid visa by physically canceling it in accordance with the procedure described in paragraph (d) of this section if:”
“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”
