Meme depicting JD Vance as bald

A 21-year-old Norwegian tourist claims he was denied entry to the United States and harassed by ICE agents after they discovered a JD Vance meme on his phone.

Mads Mikkelsen arrived at New Jersey's Newark Airport on June 11 when he was pulled aside by border control and placed in a cell, he told Norwegian outlet Nordlys. Mads was travelling to the States to visit friends, first in New York and then in Austin, Texas, but suffered "harassment and abuse of power" at the hands of US immigration authorities.

"I felt prejudiced, suspected and simply humiliated even then, in front of many other people at the airport," The Tromsø native recounted. "They took me to a room with several armed guards, where I had to hand over my shoes, mobile phone and backpack."

Officers quizzed Mads about his visit, and his plans, before adopting a personal line of questioning. "They asked direct questions about drug smuggling, terrorist plans and right-wing extremism, completely without reason," he claimed.

"They demanded full information about everyone I was going to meet in the US, including name, address, phone number and what they did for work." Mads' mother was due to meet up with him a few weeks into his stay and the pair had planned to travel to several national parks.

"I had travelled for twelve hours, slept poorly, and was physically and mentally completely exhausted even before they started the questioning," he continued. A strenuous crackdown by U.S. Customs and Border Protection has followed President Donald Trump's return to office, with the service being allowed to search phones.



A French scientist was denied entry at the border earlier this year, in March, after officers unearthed messages criticising Trump on his phone. Mikkelsen explained: "They threatened me with a minimum fine of $5,000 or five years in prison if I refused to provide the password to my phone."

After handing over his password, Mads was told he would not be allowed to go through with his planned vacation after two images were not to the officers' liking. One image was of a meme showcasing JD Vance with a bald, egg-shaped head. Variations of the image were shared endlessly in March on social media, with the Vice President himself posting his own version.

The other picture showed Mads with a wooden pipe which he had made years prior. "Both pictures had been automatically saved to my camera roll from a chat app, but I really didn't think that these innocent pictures would put a stop to my entry into the country," the 21-year-old admitted.

Mads told Nordlys he tried to explain the images as being harmless and meant as jokes but the immigration authorities ignored his pleas. He claims he was then strip-searched, forced to give blood samples, a facial scan and fingerprints.

"Later I was taken back in, and the situation got even worse. I was pushed up against a wall and was strip-searched with a lot of force. They were incredibly harsh and used physical force the whole time," he claimed.

"I felt completely devastated and broke down, and was close to crying several times. I was on the verge of panic. It felt like I was a terrorist suspect where I was sitting. I tried to pull myself together several times, but in the end, I just wanted to get home again."

The Norwegian adds he was placed in a cell for a further five hours, refused food or water and placed on a plane back to Oslo the same day he arrived for the holiday of a lifetime. "I don't feel there is any point in contacting the State Department, nor do I think they have any power against such a powerful and strict country as the United States," Mads conceded.

Mathias Rongved, a spokesperson at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned fellow Norwegians that it is their duty to be clued up on US regulations before entering the country. "Most trips to the US go without any particular problems," he said.

"Entry regulations can change at short notice, and it is the traveller's responsibility to have valid documents and be familiar with the current entry regulations. It is the immigration authorities upon arrival who decide whether you are rejected at the border. Norwegian authorities cannot intervene in this decision.

"It is also not necessarily the case that we receive a message either from other countries' border authorities or the Norwegian traveller if the person in question is not allowed to enter a country."

Neither article appears to mention (allegedly) his Youtube channel in which he tests firearms and such.

literally what the fuck does this even mean? how is being stuck in traffic comparable to this situation? even as an attempted whataboutism this falls flat, if you wanna be a retard at least put some effort in
It means that you're more than willing to exert your will and control over others with no concern in regards to how it affects their life but God forbid anyone in your camp suffer the same. SUFFA

I'm a completely disingenuous faggot
You know this is why people come here; versus consuming any sort of media elsewhere, when they see that people that are highly politicized, like you, that will conflate something one person said, from an opposing party, while ignoring what your party did for the following 4 years....

Where does someone calling for a 2-week quarantine make it okay for you to ruin people's lives for 4 years? Go stick your head in the lake until you no longer feel the urge to breathe lmfao. Maybe it'll make you a little more in tune to what other people in this country feel versus your champagne socialism

Yeah lets turn away white tourists from happy and healthy white nations so we can have more contemptuous pajeets and chinks flood our universities instead. Why would the US want to promote good relations with proper countries when we could snuggle up with goat fuckers and jews instead?

Don't forget Biden saying in an official white house press release that he wanted to kill people who didn't wanna get the shot
 
Europe is just a Soros testing ground to see what they can get away with in America.
This was absolutely Palantir at work. Palantir has been targeting "right wing extremism" in Europe for years now, and they probably flagged this guy. After that, it was just fedbots obeying their robot overlord and finding an excuse to tell this kid to fuck off.

Proper county? He is from some europoor hole.
The story in the OP clearly didn't make sense and now we have confirmation by the assistant DHS Secretary that he was turned away for being a drug user. Then he goes home and makes up some bullshit story about a meme to shit on our government. But his fried brain couldn't even keep his story straight in the OP. He said he was denied because of a meme on his phone, but he then says they didn't get his phone until AFTER he was pulled in for questioning.

We don't need any more gay drug addicts like him anymore then we need more pajeets. We already have enough. They both gotta go.
This was absolutely Palantir at work.
He admitted to being a drug user. You don't need some AI to find out something they just admit to. My guess is he was sweating and tweeking which caused him to get pulled for questioning. That's likely what the no sleep and exhausted cope is all about.

If he came prepared with a rarer Vance meme to trade he could have gotten out of it. That facebook-tier one he had was so worthless it likely offended the agents.

Well, some suit says he admitted to being a drug user. I say he got pulled aside for special attention due to some parallel construction shit. There's no way a euro guntuber wouldn't have gotten the flag from Palantir.

He probably thought he could just say whatever he wanted to a small local paper in Norway for attention, because it probably wouldn't be able to be fact checked, not even by the Norwegian foreign ministry as the US might not tell them the reason.

Interesting how this guy (White Scandi tourist with dank meemays on his phone who registers as physically harmless from one look at him) gets the coverage, rather than the Durkadurkastani families of 16 fleeing genocide the usual suspects usually whine about. Seems like even the press realizes, on some level, that people are increasingly unsympathetic towards the brown rapefugee hordes. “You could get black-bagged to El Salvador by ICE too, whitey!” is a bold strategy, Cotton.

This isn’t the first time a white Westerner being ‘mistreated’ has hit the news. There’s been Canucks, bongs, aussies, among others. It’s always a tragedy and miscarriage of justice that traumatized their victims.
 
ITT niggers who don't think it's in character for feds to abuse their power every chance they get.
No, likely ITT Americans who are well aware that 1) CBP cannot deny American citizens re-entry to the US, 2) can only detain them long enough to investigate suspected crimes, and can only confiscate property but not hold citizens for long periods for any reason, 3) must turn over citizens accused of border-related crimes (and warrants, etc.) to federal authorities (i.e. the Federal Marshals, the FBI or ATF, etc.), and 4) cannot threaten or otherwise punish any American citizen for refusing to divulge device or account passwords or otherwise disclose any incriminating electronic information (good ol' Fifth Amendment, as upheld by SCOTUS).

American citizens can generally tell CBP agents to go fuck themselves and demand immediate entry. CBP can still detain for screening (and the more firm you are with them, the more painful they'll make the process), but they're not jailors, judges, or prosecutors and cannot stomp on citizens' rights. They might come back into the US with only the clothes on their back, but Americans enjoy absolute, irrevocable right of return. And if CBP is stupid enough to actually pull that shit, they're handing the lucky citizen and easy win in court.

Foreigners can suck my dick. You want in? Behave yourself at the border. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.

I appreciate that this administration and its department heads don't just take this shit silently anymore. Whether people believe them or not, at least they're coming right out and openly calling this bullshit and giving the real reason whenever they can.
