Miserable Story of Italian Jailed for Entering US…on a Flight
May 15th, 2008 | By Jared Blank(Thanks to UpgradeTravelBetter)
An Italian man visiting his girlfriend in Virginia was jailed for 10 days after customs agents at Dulles Airport falsely claimed he had asked for asylum upon entering the country (asylum from Italy?) The story is worth a read, as it doesn’t make sense at all and serves as a warning to European visitors that the US can lock them up for quite literally no reason at all.
