Conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents Monday while returning through an airport to U.S. soil. Why? Because he once filmed a video in which he crossed the U.S.-Mexico border without going through customs. And customs agents told him he will be detained every single time he enters the country from overseas henceforth.

Unbelievable: customs agent just told me they detain me everytime bc of the Osama crossing sting we did. And they'll continue to do so.




O’Keefe’s August video, published exclusively at the time by The Daily Caller, showed the conservative filmmaker freely crossing back and forth between the United States and Mexico dressed as Osama bin Laden, to make a point about Islamic radicals being able to pour onto domestic U.S. soil.

But that was enough to get him detained at the airport and to have an “X” marked on his passport.

PICTURE: this is the "X" they put on my passport document before they detained me.

I do not pretend to know all or how many legal intricacies are involved here. I defend his action under the right to free speech concerning the film. C'mon America, we are being trounced upon by our own government, elected by ourselves! Obama cannot get away with all his shenanigans without tacit approval of Congress and both parties, we cannot deny that after last election.
