Dr Katherine Blouin (isisnaucratis.bsky.social): Heard multiple reports of Canadians being asked at US custom desks in 🇨🇦 airports what they think of the current USA administration. Those who responded w mild comments like "glad it is not the same here" were refused entry and banned from entering the 🇺🇸 for 5 years.

This is a red alert for anyone in Canada planning on travelling to the United States. People are being denied entry for mild political positions that contradict the current regime.

But, and this is crucial, when it happens at airport pre-clearance in Canada, worst-case is DENIAL, not detention.
