Another Canadian with Moroccan roots has been refused entry at Quebec's border with the United States after being questioned for five hours and having his phone searched. Aber told CBC News that he didn't know Halilovic well, but the two had friends in common and attended the same mosque. "They made me fill in papers and made me talk about myself, where I'm from, where I was born," Aber told CBC News. Last Saturday, two cousins travelling with two children on a day trip to Vermont were denied entry after facing questions about their Muslim faith and Moroccan origins. In response to questions that arose last weekend about the Canadians who were denied entry, a CBP spokesman said its officers' decisions are cross-checked by supervisors and higher-level managers.
