A Muslim American mayor of a New Jersey town says border patrol agents wrongfully detained him and kept his phone when he arrived at JFK International Airport last month after returning from a vacation in Turkey.
Mohamed Khairullah, the mayor of Prospect Park, New Jersey since 2005, told CNN he was pulled aside and detained for three hours by US Customs and Border Protection agents when he and his family got off the plane.The questioning started out innocently enough — a CBP agent asked him standard questions like about where he traveled from and who he visited.
The mayor said he has"not ruled out legal action" against CBP over the incident. Anthony Bucci, a Public Affairs Specialist with U.S. Customs and Border Protection's New York Office, told CNN the agency was"not at liberty to discuss an individual's processing due to the Privacy Act.
