Muslim Schoolteacher Denied Entry by Victoria Valdez

A British schoolteacher, who happened to be Muslim, was denied entry into the United States while on a school field trip to New York City.  He was escorted off the plane in front of his students who were distressed by the events.  He had been traveling on a visitor's visa and is a citizen of Britain.  He is not a citizen of any other country.

It is so sad that this had to happen in front of his students.  British citizens are not supposed to be denied entry into the United States.  This sounds like a misunderstanding and clearly we need to take action so this sort of thing does not happen again.  I know that the Presidential orders are meant to keep us safe, however, there has to be a better way to protect those that are innocent.

  1. I just looked at an article about how annoyingly insane travel ban is. It has its points being made on why they belive it should be a thing but at the same time, there are innocent people being halted at the plane saying they aren't allowed to travel.
