@nilsskirnir @edgeofeurope @JPK_elmediat @MNSpy US immigration has for a long time been arbitrary & problematic, and yes, previously that mainly affected non-white people - I briefly recounted what we observed on our trip in 2014 in this thread: https://mstdn.social/@pmdj/113860813239609275
Also unnerving are the CBP checkpoints *inside* the US. We ran into one of those in New Mexico a few weeks later. We weren't expecting it, so I was searching our bags for the passports while the cop was watching me, hand on gun.
