Customs and Border Patrol allegedly detained yet another American citizen arriving in the U.S., this time a retired law enforcement head with 25 years of experience, because of his Arabic name. Former North Carolina Police Chief Hassan Aden says he was held for nearly two hours at John F. Kennedy, writing in a Facebook post that “if this can happen to me, it can happen to anyone with attributes that can be ‘profiled.’ No one is safe from this type of unlawful government intrusion.” And that, apparently, includes former police chiefs who have contracted with the Department of Justice. Feeling safer yet, America? Aden claimed that more than 25 other “foreign nationals” were “brought in and quickly released,” while he remained detained.
