Indeed. The lack of explanation is also sinister.

“I have not been given any reason as to why. I am grateful for your support and look forward to visiting Toronto in the near future.” - Khan

But we know which government department is immediately responsible for allowing people in and out of the country. It's reasonable to suppose they are the ones making contact with him. If it's someone else, I will amend my assumption. But it really doesn't matter which department it is. No one but a government department is capable of revoking a person's ability to travel. Collusion between such a department and the executive would be authoritarian.

From the accounts emerging from customs, the actions of some people at passport control are out of control.

Khizr Khan cancels Toronto talk: organizer

TORONTO — The organizer of a luncheon featuring a speech by the father of an American Muslim soldier killed in Iraq says the event has been cancelled because the man's "travel privileges are being reviewed."

Ramsay Talks says Khizr Khan, who has publicly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for his anti-Muslim rhetoric, was scheduled to talk about tolerance, understanding and unity in Toronto on Tuesday.

Khan's son, Humayun Khan, was one of 14 American Muslims who died serving the United States in the ten years after 9/11.

Ramsay Talks says Khizr Khan was notified late Sunday night that his travel privileges were being reviewed.

Neither Khan nor Ramsay Talks say who is reviewing his travel privileges and why.

On Monday, Trump unveiled a revised travel ban that temporarily halts entry to the U.S. for people from six Muslim-majority nations who are seeking new visas and suspends the country's refugee program.
