This tweet is the US government directly lying to its citizens. I was among the Iranian Americans who tweeted about racist detention of US *citizens* by CBP. Documents now show this was an official policy directive, proving @CBP denials false. See https://twitter.com/cnn/status/1222999009159196673?s=21 …https://twitter.com/CBP/status/1213951246463328256 …

I was amazed when a government agency tweeted to deny what I had heard directly from personal friends, including a mother and her daughters, US born citizens, being detained for Iranian descent. Turns out the agency lied without even the most basic investigation.
