Harvard freshman deported after officials review friends' social media posts: report

Here is a hypothetical. Consider an entering Harvard student who represents himself as a poor student from a backwater in Poland. After an hours long interview upon arrival to the US, CBP seizes his phone, and it is found to have “friends” who belonged to Neo-Nazi skinhead groups; posts by those friends espouse white supremacy and hateful rhetoric about those of certain other races, ethnicities, and religions, in particular Muslims. However, the student truthfully states that he has never commented upon or shared any such posts, ever.

Would posters be so supportive?

I bet most of us have ‘friends’ on Facebook who post quite offensive anti-Mexican or anti-Muslim material, at least on comments on fox news articles. The crazy old uncle is a meme for a reason. I tend to just ignore these far-right or y’all Quaeda types.

But I’d be surprised if a French border guard searched my phone and denied me entry to France because of that.
