> Recently, there was news about a visitor rejected because of a JD Vance meme, so this is not hypothetical. Everything I've seen indicates the administration and the right love those JD Vance memes. Why would they reject "one of their own"? |

A tourist got his entry denied after a search on his phone.
According to the tourist, it was because of that meme. According to the CBP, it was because of his past drug use, and a photo related to that was on his phone. Which one is right? I don’t know. The situation wasn’t clear, so it made the news. Those phone searches are the perfect excuse to deny your entry. The reason for the denial wasn’t apparent, which is why it got to the news (by the way, I read the news a week ago, before the CBP response, which I read while finding you the link to the news).
As a foreigner who travels to the US from time to time, that makes me uneasy. It only takes a friend to send a photo or meme through WhatsApp to get you in trouble.
