I agree. I know there are tens of thousands of international travelers entering the US daily and he was a single case, but the question remains, why? The article mentions a DUI on his record from a decade ago as well as a marijuana possession charge that was dismissed when legalization passed. So, is that literally it? It’s fucking insane that they are violating his rights like this and fucking torturing him.
Being that he renewed his Green Card recently, it would make no sense that his very minor record would pose any issue, otherwise the government could have denied his renewal.
