There have been some reports that border patrol agents are targeting minorities at airports since Donald Trump’s travel ban on refugees and visitors from seven Muslim-majority countries was issued two weeks ago.
Although a federal court has blocked the executive order from being enforced, there have been reports of aggressive and potentially illegal treatment. This week, Canadian citizen Fadwa Alaoui said she was denied entry to the US after border officials questioned her about being a Muslim and her views on Trump. Alaoui was born in Morocco but has lived in Canada for more than 20 years; she has traveled to the US many times to visit family.
