The son of renowned boxer Muhammad Ali was detained by officials at a U.S. airport for the second time in little more than a month, according to a tweet posted Friday by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla. Wasserman Schultz, former chair of the Democratic National Committee, posted a photo of herself and Muhammad Ali Jr.
“On way home on DOMESTIC FLIGHT Muhammad Ali Jr. detained AGAIN by @DHSgov. Religiously profiling son of ‘The Greatest’ will not make us safe,” she wrote.
It’s unclear exactly what happened, but Ali was detained previously by U.S. customs officials in February. He said he was held for almost two hours while traveling through Florida’s Fort-Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport with his mother Feb. 7.

“The officer said, ‘What religion are you?’ And I said, ‘Muslim.’ He said, ‘Come with me.’ So he took me to another room,” Ali told "CBS This Morning" in February. “It’s like he didn’t believe me, or whatever. But he asked me again, ‘What is your name? And what is your religion?’ And again I answered.”

END of Story
There is a thing called DUE PROCESS
Everyone going on travel should say that they are Muslim and that's my religion for one day and really f**k there racist bigoted logic all to hell.
And while this is going on the dumpster is spending 2 million a day on golf, and NYC protection is charging us the taxpayers 30 million (so far) for his wife to be in NY, my question is :
I still want to know if his wife came into this country illegally?
Shouldn't the publicity over their initial blunder have been publicly embarrassing enough that they'd make doubly sure this never happened again?! And who didn't like Muhammad Ali? I thought he was a national hero...
