      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.

          Let me guess: They got an alert about your incoming flight and officer spent a few hours prepping for your arrival. Great use of our tax-payer money, IMO. How pathetic.

          I will say what the Customs Border Parol folks didn’t say ( but should have) “welcome home Shaun”. Shame on them.

          Now imagine you tried to go through that, using free speech as you do, but had an International Megan's Law stamp on your passport as a vocal Muslim, African American, or even just a criminal justice reform advocate like me

          well, that is how they implement IML, they recall or invalidate any SO passports and then reissue with IML stamp (as I understand it, could be wrong, not really an area as I am as expert in as I am in other areas of SO law - for a layperson)
