OUTRAGEOUS. CBP has been ordered to detained Iranians entering the country — REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY ARE CITIZENS.

Dozens have been detained. None of them should be.

This is cruel & inhumane. It is illegal. It is immoral.

We must hold this administration accountable. https://t.co/h3tVYA7S9n

This is serious. Southern California has a significant concentration of Iranians, between 300,000 and half a million people. Some of my college co-op buddies ended up in SoCal decades ago and they became citizens.

Apparently there was an Iranian concert just over the border in Canada and a lot of Iranian US citizens and residents are returning to being harassed by CBP.
