After nearly five hours, Bachir Atallah says he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action.

"I really thought things would change after this administration, when we have Mr. Trump in office, things would change to the better," Atallah said. "Things actually changed to the worse."

Ahh yes, the consequences of your actions, on full display to the world. Enjoy your trip to Lebanon, Mr Atallah, I'm sure nothing will go wrong since you voted for trump.

Yeah, I was really sympathizing until I read that bit. Now I'm just disgusted. The actions of the CBP are beyond wrong. The illegal search and seizure in making him open his email is an absolute constitutional violation as is forcing him to sign a affidavit saying he did so willingly, which is even worse. The fact that he gave in would be stupid at any other time but the way this administration is disregarding the constitution and the courts and just throwing people out of the country without any due process is so dystopian I can hardly blame someone for giving in. But as it appears this moron voted for Trump, I don't feel bad for him personally, I just feel bad for everyone who didn't vote for that bastard who is going through the same treatment.
