Iranian-Americans Say They Were Stopped, Held For Hours At U.S.-Canada Border

 

Civil rights groups, public officials, and lawmakers have made inquiries over reports that dozens of Iranians and Iranian-Americans were held up and questioned for hours over the past weekend as they returned to the United States from Canada.

 

The Washington state branch of the nonprofit Council on American-Islamic Relations said more than 60 Iranians and Iranian-American of all ages were detained for up to 10 hours or more, questioned about their political views, and had their personal belongings confiscated, such as passports, car keys, and smartphones, at Washington state's border with Canada.

 

….Officials at the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) denied discriminating against travelers based on religion, race, or ethnicity.

 

"Social-media posts that CBP is detaining Iranian-Americans and refusing their entry into the U.S. because of their country of origin are false," CBP spokesman Michael Friel told AFP.

 

However, "based on the current threat environment, CBP is operating with an enhanced posture" at its border crossing to safeguard national security and protect the American people "while simultaneously protecting the civil rights and liberties of everyone," he said.
