A former Brazilian beauty queen was deported from the United States after customs agents deemed she was a threat to the country's national security.
Francielly Ouriques was connecting at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago on April 10 for a flight to California to attend the 2025 Coachella festival when she was intercepted by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents.
In a video posted on social media earlier this week, Ouriques said that she was escorted to a room for a secondary inspection and underwent questioning.
She revealed that one of the reasons that led to her removal was that she was carrying luggage for a friend.
While searching through her purse, customs agents found four tablets of Tramal – a severe pain medication – that is considered illegal in the United States.
'I didn't know. If I had I known, I would never have it in my purse,' Ouriques said.
Ouriques explained that she spent five hours in a room with other foreign travelers who were pulled to the side as CBP agents inspected her smart phone before finally ruling that her tourist visa would be revoked.
'They claimed that I was suspected of illegal job in the United States and that I was an threat to the country,' she said.
Ouriques revealed that she had visited the United States in 2024 with a former boyfriend and that they had spoken about opening a business together.
The agents, Ouriques said, discovered messages from her month-long stay and her conversations with a company regarding her visa status.
'So my access was denied in the United States, and my visa was going to be canceled,' she said.

Acctually, "runway model" is a sub-category of H-1B visa. That was probably to support the international fashion industry of Europe.

Had a saying of my own since I was 17... Fake t*ts is considered Courtship Fraud!
Scars. Yuck.
Was once walking through West LA with a European co-worker playing “Real or Fake”. About 50/50.
I dunno. She’s reasonable. Not a superior beauty... but this IS only Coachella. 😊
Oh, that is hilarious!
It sounds really close to what my doctor ordered for me for depression - dammitol.
In this case and this case only, I would be willing to make an exception.
This reminds me of all the old WWII movies where the Americans would tell who was a German spy by asking them baseball questions.
This woman, coming from Brazil, probably wasn't exposed to decades of airline ticket agents asking: 1) did you pack your bags by yourself, 2) have your bags been out of your possession at any time, and 3) did anyone give you anything to carry on board?
I bet even Americans who fly post-9/11 don't even remember that.

But, since we were that age, they have made drastic improvements! The saline bags are almost ok as long as they dont make em look like Marty Feldman!!...
That is the second time in one night you made me laugh out loud. Bravo!
