An incoming Harvard freshman was denied entry to the United States after arriving in Boston to begin classes at the school, the university said Tuesday.
Ajjawi, who is Palestinian and lives in Lebanon, was allegedly asked about his religious practices and to unlock his phone and laptop, according to the statement cited by The Crimson. When an immigration officer returned with his phone and laptop about five hours later, he was questioned about his friends' social media activity, according to the statement.
Customs and Border Protection told NBC News that Ajjawi was deemed inadmissible to the U.S."based on information discovered during the CBP inspection."
