The 44-year-old Muhammad Ali Jr, son of late boxing icon Muhammad Ali, and his mother Khalilah Camacho-Ali, the second wife of Muhammad Ali, arrived at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport from a trip to Jamaica, when they were stopped by CBP officials at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
Mancini,Muhammad’s lawyer, says officials questioned Ali Jr for nearly two hours, repeatedly asking him, “Where did you get your name from?” and “Are you Muslim?”
Reactions:
Customs agent: “How did you get the name Muhammad Ali, Jr.?”

If it’s “not a Muslim ban,” why are they detaining American citizen, Muhammad Ali Jr, returning from Jamaica and asking if he’s Muslim?

They go after muslims like Muhammad Ali Jr. But ignore white christian males who commit U.S. mass shootings. Muslim the new “N” word #racist

Or Muhammad Ali Jr. detained coming back from Jamaica. 4 days after the judge’s ruling. His crime? Being #Muslim or being #black. Pick one
