Jaw dropping, yet not surprising.

Mr Kahn is case in point as to whats wrong with Trump's 'ban'.

Talk about piss poor vetting, if OUR people couldn't see the problem with this, for a gold star CITIZEN, what then?

"Gold Star father Khizr Khan’s “freedom to travel abroad” is reportedly under review, and he says he doesn’t know why.

Khan was scheduled to speak at a luncheon in Toronto on Tuesday “on what we can do about the appalling turn of events in Washington — so that we don’t all end up sacrificing everything.” The two-hour event was to include a presentation and then a question-and-answer session.

But Khan was told late Sunday that his traveling privileges were under review, according to Ramsay Talks, which organized the luncheon....

Khan has been a U.S. citizen for more than 30 years, and his son, Humayun Khan, a University of Virginia graduate and Muslim American Army captain who died in Iraq in 2004, was posthumously awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart."

Trump and INS in cahoots? If there's a connection, a lot of people may think this is a disqualifying incident. You'd want to be rid of a president that had this happen. Arbitrary exercise of power in vengeance for free and entirely patriotic speech by a political opponent. Fundamental breach of the constitution in a dozen ways.
