Have you experienced 'extreme vetting' when visiting the United States?

Donald Trump has suggested that US authorities are carrying out extreme vetting on people coming into the country.

The comments came as the president railed against US courts for blocking his plan for a travel ban from six Muslim-majority countries.

“Extreme vetting” could come in the form of asking visitors for access to mobile phone contacts, social media passwords and financial data. It could also involve different treatment or behavior when entering the US or applying for travel documents, such as visas.

If you think you may have experienced extreme vetting, we would like to hear from you, particularly if you are Muslim or were traveling from a Muslim country.
