A leaked Customs and Border Protection memo shows border officers were directed to stop travelers of Iranian descent, including American citizens, despite the agency denying it earlier this month
An internal Customs and Border Protection memo obtained by CNN suggests that US border officers working at Canadian ports of entry were directed to detain and question travelers of Iranian descent, including American citizens, in the wake of the killing of a top Iranian general in early January, despite previous denials from the agency.
The single-page undated document, issued by the Tactical Analytical Unit of CBP's Seattle Field Office, is titled"Iranian Supreme Leader Vows Forceful Revenge after US Kills Maj. General Qasem Suleimani in Baghdad -- Threat Alert High." The memo states that, among others, anyone born in Iran, Lebanon or the Palestinian territories between 1961 and 2001 should be vetted, along with anyone who has connections to those countries and territories.
