Mikkelsen says officials questioned him about drug trafficking, terrorism, and right-wing extremism without cause.
Upon accessing his phone, they discovered a meme of digitally altered JD Vance, made to appear chubby and bald, a popular image following Ukrainian President Zelensky’s contentious visit to the Oval Office in February. They also disapproved of a photo showing Mikkelsen with a homemade wooden pipe.
He described the experience as feeling like a terrorist suspect, which left him mentally and physically drained.
Mikkelsen was asked to provide detailed information about everyone he planned to meet in the US, including names, addresses, phone numbers, and occupations.
Conflicting info in the various articles as to whether they even reacted to the photo at all, seems more like they had issues with the smoking pipe.
Details vary on what was said between them as well so not sure if thats just the different outlets adding their own BS to it or if the person is just bullshitting and forgetting their made-up details between comments to different outlets.
