The Trump regime’s ban on Muslims — that’s not a Muslim ban (wink, wink), which the unpopular president says is “working out very nicely,” is not working out for anyone who happens to be Muslim. It doesn’t matter who you are—whether you are an American citizen or the wife and son of the single most famous American athlete of the 20th century.
Muhammad Ali Jr., the son of Muhammad Ali, was on his way back from Montego Bay, Jamaica, with his mother and Ali's first wife, Khalilah, when immigration officers detained them. She showed officers a picture of herself with her ex-husband, who died last June 3, so she was not detained. Ali Jr. had no such photo.
"This is an outrage," says Chris Mancini, a former federal prosecutor and friend of the family. "I don't know what is going on with Mr. Trump's claim that his ban is not religion-based. We do not discriminate in this country based on religion."
Ali Jr. is 44 and has no criminal record. Nevertheless, he was detained for around two hours, despite his American citizenship and having his passport on him when they questioned him.
