Ali Jr, 44, who confirmed his Muslim faith, was detained about two hours, despite telling officials that he's Ali's son and a native-born US citizen, said Chris Mancini, a family friend and attorney. But Ali Jr. was not carrying a photo of his world-famous father — a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It was the first time Ali Jr and his mother have ever been asked if they're Muslim when re-entering the United States, Mancini said. During his detention, Ali Jr was asked repeatedly about his lineage and his name, "as if that was a pre-programmed question that was part of a profile," Mancini said. Camacho Ali and Ali Jr live in Florida.
