Customs and Border Patrol DENIES reports that Iranians, some of them US citizens, have been detained by American agents at the Canadian border amid tensions between Washington and Tehran

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) reported Sunday that more than 60 Iranians and Iranian-Americans of all ages have been detained

It was claimed they were detained at length and questioned by officers at the Peace Arch Border Crossing in Blaine, Washington

But Customs and Border Protection has since issued a statement saying the claim was false

It said extra wait times of up to four hours at the border were as a result of increased passenger volumes over the holiday period

#1 No, they deny that there is a blanket order to detain ALL Iranians and Iranian-Americans.

#3 I was hoping they were going the other way, i.e. towards Canada.

#5 I crossed back into the US yesterday at the Sumas, WA crossing; the advertized wait time was ~ 10 minutes; sure enough 1 hour and 4 minutes later we finally hit the Customs booth. Observed LOTS of dog action on cars and an abnormal amount of secondary screening; probably just those with Cannabis or residue of same on/in cars/clothes and it is still a federal crime to import grass into the US.

Didn't know about this Iranian thingy until later that night safely ensconsed at Casa Ret.
