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.

“Fact Check: FALSE,” the CBP wrote on X. “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 Norwegian newspaper got to see his letter of denial and it didn't list drug use at all. Rather they said he tried to enter the country to get a job illegally.

At this point, CBP's story keeps changing, and I don't trust anything they say.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah. Trying to get a job without legal paperwork.

What fucking clowns these people are.

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

The exact meme in case anyone wants to avoid it for um... Legal purposes.

[-] troybot@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago

Under no circumstances should you share this image. We must send this to everyone we know to be absolutely certain all our friends and family know about this so they don't unknowingly have it on their phone. It's our patriotic duty to share this with as many people as possible.

What a shit show.

Europeans, this is the best time to troll America right now.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I think Americans are trolled enough by Trump and his administration.
It's pretty hard to measure up to that level of trolling. It's so bad they are trolling people to death over there!

Haha no more medicare for you! lol
Haha your papers are wrong, away to Venezuela you go. lol
Haha Your pregnancy is putting your life in danger, but no doctor will help you. lol
Haha you complained about high prices under biden, but I (Trump) will make them even higher, with no wage compensation. lol
Americans are having a blast with how funny things are now.

At least Americans can still shit on England and the French! That's about it though...

Yeah I don't believe their cover story.

Government was trying to kidnap a guy in a Colorado town, there's an emergency response network to shut those shits down, and they did. The government morons retroactively tried to claim he was wanted for terrible crimes he did in Italy and was from El Salvador. Of course, there was no record of this being true in any of those countries, even the FBI's most wanted list was devoid of this supposed bad guy. (I'm sure they'll be sure to create fake dossiers in the future.)

Now, because of that, all the news was polluted with "These people did bad and stopped the FBI from doing good," when the headlines should read, "Hero Activists Save a Person from Treasonous Thugs Violating the Constitution." The government will probably refer to the news articles as circular logic proof that it was real at some point.

Troubling times, they've always lied, of course, the lies are just so much more toxic nonsense and there is less desire than ever to pursue facts or truth, as long as the evil deed is done. America is cooked.

Send help, or set up refugee programs, everyone else, we need it

when someone says this chapter in history books is going to be wild....this.

this is what I imagine the pages filled with.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

This is the most possible exposure the meme could get. Guaranteed JD saw it. Sucks for the Norwegian but absolutely hilarious that the fascists have to acknowledge unflattering pictures.

I want to change his portrait on wikipedia to this

[-] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

That would be vandalism... but there's probably a section where it would be perfectly legitimate, like "Controversies"

Great way of spreading the meme, whether or not this is true, I say well played!
