Political consultant Rick Taylor was detained for 45 minutes by U.S. Customs and Border Protection upon his return from a family vacation in Turks and Caicos, allegedly without explanation. Separated from his family, he was held alongside other Latino travelers and felt targeted, possibly due to political attire. Taylor expressed frustration with the lack of communication, stating he felt confused and angry during the ordeal. He highlighted how concerning the experience could be for those less familiar with the system and language barriers.
I have no idea why I was targeted. They don't talk to you. They don't give you a reason. You're just left confused, angry and worried.
I know how the system works and have pretty good connections and I was still freaking out. I could only imagine how I would be feeling if I didn't understand the language.
