      1. Immigration & customs officers at JFK Airport in NYC just pulled me and my whole family out of the middle of the passport line. We just returned from Cairo. The officer literally called us by name, knew about our trip, and took us away for questioning.

      2. The customs officer specifically brought up my role as a leader in the #BlackLivesMatter Movement and wanted to know why I traveled to Egypt.

      3. I have my wife and kids with me. We’ve been flying for nearly 24 straight hours. Exhausted. Called our attorney @theintercept & emergency contacts. Thankfully we had a plan for this foolishness. Instructed wife & kids to not say a damn word. Out now. On our way home.

          4. We just made it home safely. FYI. Family was shook up a bit at first. Took us all to a secluded questioning room. What I know is that my Muslim friends deal with this ugliness every single day. Officer had clearly been reading my tweets and knew all about me.

          Seems like #45 is giving ICE, TSA, and all law enforcement carte blanc to be racist mcRacisty and Gestapo-ish (smh).

          Makes me think I should wear a maga-hat, if I ever travel, as a disguise, so I won't be noticed...

          It was inevitable with his columns about police corruption. Frankly, anyone who considers themselves a part of the #Resistance should be prepared for this to happen.

          That's ridiculous! It shouldn't have happened but thankfully you knew your rights and had your attorney as back up.

          Was that even legal? Good thing you have your legal ducks in order. This is clearly harassment! Scary to know"they" know everything about our whereabouts & actions. What a way to end a beautiful trip. Glad you and your family are safe. #BlackLivesMatter
