The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Try again, Steve.

The now-naturalized (really? Do we even know this? He refused to identify himself beyond an alleged first name for the Independent article) wasn't "arrested," he was "detained" because he refused to cooperate with ICE agents (he deliberately tried to evade contact with them) and he refused to permit his photograph to be taken (obviously for an A.I. facial recognition search in the ICE database).

The fact that there is no dispute he was Somali in appearance, plus his deliberate attempt to evade an interaction with them, plus his refusal to cooperate by allowing his photograph to be taken, gave full legal justification for ICE to detain him until his identity as a naturalized U.S. citizen could be verified.

After that, he was released.

No harm, no foul.

They were being very nice if they apologized to him, but actually had nothing to apologize for.

Yet another example of someone creating problems and then claiming victimhood.

Dude was so outraged that he refused to actually identify himself to a sympathetic rag, the Independent.

So he could be FOS especially the part where he says he offered to show them his passport "on his phone."

Really?
