CAIR, Democrats Spread FAKE NEWS That Iranian-Americans Are Being Detained

Claims that many have been refused entry are untrue
The US border patrol has categorically denied that it is detaining American Iranians, after fake news was spread on social media, reportedly by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
Officials with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a statement outlining that rumors of Iranian-Americans being targeted under a nationwide order are totally false:
Social media posts that CBP is detaining Iranian-Americans and refusing their entry into the U.S. because of their country of origin are false. Reports that DHS/CBP has issued a related directive are also false.
— CBP (@CBP) January 5, 2020
It appears that the fake news originated with CAIR, which issued a report Sunday, claiming that “a source at CBP reported that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a national order to CBP to “report” and detain anyone with Iranian heritage entering the country who is deemed potentially suspicious or “adversarial,” regardless of citizenship status.”
CAIR also claimed that scores of Iranians and Iranian-Americans were detained “at length” at a border crossing in Washington, and that “Many more were reportedly refused entry to the United States due to a lack of capacity for Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) to detain them.”
The fake news was spread on Twitter and Facebook:

The fake news was also spread by Democrats:
Deeply disturbed by reports that Iranian Americans, including U.S. citizens, are being detained at the Canadian border with WA State.
My office has been working on this all morning. Please contact us with information on directly affected people at [email protected]

People of Iranian descent — including American citizens & green card holders — are reportedly being detained by CBP officials. We can’t let this stand.
If you or someone you know has been targeted or detained by CBP officials, please contact my district office at 510-763-0370.

This is a false rumor started by CAIR. Incredibly irresponsible for a Representative to help spread it further. https://t.co/AFOjIw1N32 https://t.co/MtdiHySfz2

A CBP directive ordering indefinite detention of Americans of Iranian descent (besides likely illegal) would be a huge story before it even went into effect. The fact that these people don't even exercise skepticism or common sense, but instead spread rumors is concerning.

Especially when this type of rumor can cause serious and unjustified fear among American citizens. And members of Congress could easily pick up the phone and find out if it's true before spreading these rumors.

BTW we should credit the people on the immigration beat who actually behave like good reporters instead of activists that spread rumors.

Update: We now have more reporting and I spoke to some CBP contacts. Unfortunately, a lot of the reporting continues to cite CAIR.
1) There is no evidence to support CAIR's claim of a CBP directive aimed at detaining Iranian descendants. Original claim below is 100% false. pic.twitter.com/hJ5fVcrxNR

2 Cont) CBP has confirmed to me that those facing secondary inspections at that port were not exclusively based do national origin (though that is considered) and that many Iranians crossed without secondary inspections.

A new study has found that far-left activism is linked to a pathological and narcissistic urge to satisfy ego rather than achieve actual social justice.

Top Dems Still Privately Opposing Biden Running For Re-Election in 2024
Many are afraid to go on the record.

Prominent Democrats continue to raise concerns about Joe Biden’s age in advance of his decision on whether or not to run again for president in 2024, but are afraid to say so publicly.
According to a report by Politico, the rhetoric of behind-the-scenes discussions regarding Biden’s cognitive ability to fight another election campaign hasn’t changed.
The report said that while there is still a significant amount of skepticism as to whether Biden should run again, Democrats are afraid to state their worries on the record.
“He’s a president of great competence and success, I admire the heck out of President Biden,” the report cited Rep. Dean Phillips as saying.
“And if he were 15-20 years younger it would be a no-brainer to nominate him, but considering his age it’s absurd we’re not promoting competition but trying to extinguish it.”
The report also cited an unnamed Senator who said only a few of his colleagues want Biden to run again and that the party has to create “an alignment of interest” with the president to get him off the “narcotic” of the office.
Top Democrats harbor real concerns about nominating somebody who’ll be 82 at the start of his second term but the threat of Trump and trepidation about the @VP keeps them quiet

Although Biden is eyeing up an April announcement to align with the same month he threw his hat in the ring in 2019, many Dems are fearful that Biden won’t be able to devote enough energy to the campaign tour given his age.
During his 2020 run, the Biden campaign team infamously ‘called a lid’ on campaigning relatively early in the day on many occasions and limited his interactions with the media, with Republicans accusing them of keeping Biden in the “basement”.
Meanwhile, the president’s physician Kevin O’Connor said Biden was “vigorous” and “healthy” following his latest medical examination, declaring him “fit for duty”.
Biden’s condition was “unchanged from baseline” following his last physical in late 2021, with the president only suffering from mild ailments.
That will probably do little to silence those who have pointed to Biden’s repeated public appearances where he looks dazed and confused on stage.
Last week, former White House physician Ronny Jackson called for Joe Biden to be subjected to an immediate cognitive examination after the president appeared to be lost on stage yet again.
A poll conducted by Issues & Insights/TIPP last August found that 59 per cent of Americans are concerned about President Biden’s mental health.
