    How does this work:

    He’s not yet granted access to the US, so laws don’t apply to him.

    He destroyed evidence, so laws do apply to him.

    How can both of these statements exist at the same time? Why not just turn him away?

    Even if they turned him away, he could get back in line with his clean phone and give them a working password.

      I can’t believe he has to wait until October for a determination on this. The facts of the case are clear. If nothing else I hope he sues the police department that put him on a watchlist for terrorism.

      If he wins this case that would be my first move. The only reason he was harassed like this was because he voiced a negative opinion about a city project.
