The Trump administration has claimed referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan was denied admission to the U.S. due to “association with suspected members of terror organisations.” The referee was one of 52 match officials chosen by FIFA for the World Cup. He reported to Miami last weekend to join a training camp with his peers in Florida ahead of the tournament. Artan told the New York Times on Tuesday that he “had the right papers” and “the right visa” before traveling to the United States and he also had accreditation as a match official by FIFA. The issue, therefore, appears to have emerged upon attempting to enter at the border. He said that border officials interviewed him at Miami International Airport during a process of over 11 hours, before being detained in a holding cell and then sent back to Istanbul, Turkey, where he began his journey. After The Athletic contacted the White House for comment on the matter, a senior administration official said: “Upon further inspection by CBP, derogatory information, including association with suspected members of terror organizations, was discovered making the traveler ineligible for admission to the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). “The traveler was refused admission and given immigration forms that provide the section of law used to complete an expedited removal under 8235 of the INA. President Trump’s administration will not allow any security threat to enter our country — full stop.” More from @AdamCrafton_ 🔗 nyti.ms/4uqlg30

James Talarico is doing reputation rehab & we're not falling for it. TODAY: "I oppose gender reassignment surgeries for minors" 2023: Argued PASSIONATELY against SB 14, the bill that BANNED these surgeries for kids. Voted NO. 2022: "Gender affirming health care is NOT child abuse" So which is it, James? Was your vote a MISTAKE? Are you willing to call it child abuse NOW? Flip-flopping fraud. Texas sees you.

That should be statistically impossible? I thought tranys and other shits only made up “less than 1%”of the population, so how is it possible one family has 2 of those kinds? 😂😂

That is my thought. How entitled and elitist do you have to be to REPEATEDLY, not just interrupt, but talk over the sitting President of the United States. Putin doesn't even do that.

Anna Paulina Luna has filed charges against a woman who brutally attacked her outside Capitol Hill today. The woman (from Code Pink) assaults @realannapaulina and from what we can tell it certainly looks like Anna's arm is broken in several different places. VIEWER DISCRESSION!

The President shared this piece of artwork with me today in the Oval Office. President @realDonaldTrump knows how to paint a picture like no one else. #txlege

America during the Bicentennial was a completely different place

Trump assassination jokes are spiking. Experts worry they promote actual violence.

I FOUND IT! Here’s the video of democrat James Talarico calling God non-binary. “God is both masculine & feminine & everything in between.” In the same breath, Talarico said, “[Trans children] are perfect, beautiful, & they are sacred.” No, Talarico. God isn’t non-binary.
