Trump's first victim. Jordanian humiliated, deported at US airport.
Hammad Sheva, a 26-year-old Jordanian architect, said he was treated so badly at a US airport upon arrival, that he will not consider visiting the US again any time soon.
On 7 December, he wrote on his Facebook page that he had left for the US from Amman on a B1/B2 US visa issued by the US embassy in Amman.
When he arrived in Chicago, he was escorted to an interrogation room. His mobile phone was taken from him and he was forced to disclose his passwords.
Officers at the airport proceeded to interrogate him aggressively for five hours, as though he were a terrorist suspect. They questioned the purpose of his visit without any basis, he said, despite him having visited the US before.
Hammad said they went through his private messages and data against his will.
At the end of his interrogation, he was given two options: Either agree to withdraw his visa application and return to Jordan, or let the border authorities decline his entry and get banned from entering the US for 5 years. Hammad said he chose the first option to avoid the ban.
Hammad was then placed in a 3x4 metre holding cell until a return flight was scheduled.
He wrote: "...a steel toilet was in room as well, the room was underground so I didn't know the time or if its day or night, and didn't know what's going to happen [Sic]."
Hammad insisted this was an act of discrimination, saying most of the other people who were questioned with him were Muslims, including one from Montenegro who was with him in the interrogation room.
"They made some racist...comments many times during the interrogation!"
"I felt helpless, I felt abused, I felt oppressed and not human. I really wouldn't wish this to my worst enemy."
