One of France’s most widely respected Holocaust historians was detained for over 10 hours while trying to gain entry into the United States.
Rousso was scheduled to deliver a lecture titled “Writing on the Dark Side of the Recent Past” at Texas A&M University.
Rousso was stopped at immigration because of what an official called a “random check,” and was forced to wait over ten hours in a chair without access to his phone.
Rousso is an Egyptian-born French citizen. France is one of the beneficiaries of the U.S. visa waiver program, which only asks French citizens to fill out an online ESTA application before traveling to the US. Egypt is not one of the seven Muslim-majority countries that President Trump is in the process of attempting to ban.
It was only after law professors from the university intervened on his behalf that he was eventually allowed entry into the United States.

Obama gutted ICE? ICE had 12,000 employees in 2008 and has 19,000 today. The point is these are not isolated incidents, but the result of Trump's new extreme vetting. ICE is using this ONE employee as an excuse. Someone doesn't get held for 10 hours based on just one agent's actions
