A spokesperson for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confirms that Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Arteh was denied entry to America due to security concerns!!!! 🤯🇸🇴🇺🇸
" On June 6, a Somali citizen arrived at Miami International Airport from Istanbul International Airport. During entry procedures, the traveler underwent additional screening, which is a routine part of CBP procedures when officers need to verify information or determine admissibility.
After the inspection was completed, it was determined that the traveler, a referee in a FIFA World Cup qualifier, was ineligible to enter the United States due to concerns related to security vetting operations, and therefore his entry was denied.
All travelers seeking entry to the United States, including athletes, coaches, and technical staff members, are subject to screening and vetting procedures by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Decisions to admit or deny entry are made on a case-by-case basis, based on the information available related to law enforcement, national security, and immigration at the time of inspection.
CBP officers also have the authority to question travelers, conduct inspections, and make admissibility decisions in accordance with U.S. laws. "
