Mads Mikkelsen from Norway told Hyperallergic that he was mistreated by border agents and accused of possessing drug paraphernalia.

The Trump Administration said reports a man was denied entry over a J.D. Vance meme on his phone are false, but tourists have been experiencing tighter border controls.

Mikkelsen said that the entire episode had been traumatic because of strip-searches, luggage ransacking, fingerprinting, blood sampling and falsified travel records. His Norwegian passport had also been mistakenly labelled as "Spanish".
