Customs and Border Protection has confirmed that, no, agents did not stop a Norwegian traveler who showed them a meme of a bald Vice President JD Vance.

“Fact Check: FALSE,” the CBP wrote on X. “Mads Mikkelsen was not denied entry for any memes or political reasons, it was for his admitted drug use.”

And no, the agency is not referring to Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen, but rather the similarly named 21-year-old who was denied entry at Newark Liberty International Airport on June 11.

A Norwegian newspaper got to see his letter of denial and it didn't list drug use at all. Rather they said he tried to enter the country to get a job illegally.

At this point, CBP's story keeps changing, and I don't trust anything they say.
