Customs and Border Protection has confirmed that, no, agents did not stop a Norwegian traveler who showed them a meme of a bald Vice President JD Vance.
“Mads Mikkelsen was not denied entry for any memes or political reasons, it was for his admitted drug use.”.
And no, the agency is not referring to Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen, but rather the similarly named 21-year-old who was denied entry at Newark Liberty International Airport on June 11.
A 21-year-old Norwegian tourist named Mads Mikkelsen claims he was denied entry to the US after agents found a meme of Vice President JD Vance.
DHS officials said Mikkelsen was denied because he admitted to using drugs ( Customs and Border Patrol ).
After the agents looked through his phone, he said he was denied entry to the United States and was sent back to Norway.
