Mads Mikkelsen, a Norwegian, was reportedly deported from the U.S. after border agents scrutinized his phone and found a meme of Vice President JD Vance. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) maintains that Mikkelsen's prior drug use was the cause of his deportation, a claim Mikkelsen challenges, asserting the agents wrongly identified him as a Spanish citizen and provided a deportation document with multiple inaccuracies. Mikkelsen argues that his brief cannabis use in legally permissible locations should not have led to his expulsion from the U.S.
Mikkelsen stated that the government’s drug explanation is implausible, asserting that both instances of use occurred in places where cannabis is legal.
Mikkelsen claimed the real reason for his deportation was a meme he created, which depicted JD Vance in a distorted manner after a viral event.
DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin branded Mikkelsen's claims about the meme as 'FALSE,' insisting drug use was the primary reason for his deportation.
Mikkelsen pointed to errors in the deportation document, including being misidentified as a Spanish national alongside accusations of carrying drug paraphernalia.
