A Norwegian was banned from entering the US because of memes with a bald J.D. Vance (3 photos)
Mads Mikkelsen, 21, arrived at Newark Airport in New Jersey. But when border control found memes featuring the US vice president on his phone, he was sent to a cell, ruining his vacation. 
Mads Mikkelsen arrived in the US on June 11 looking forward to a vacation, but as he described to Norwegian journalists, immigration officials "abused their power" when they found the memes. 
"They asked questions about drug trafficking, terrorist plots and right-wing extremism for no reason," he told the publication.
Mikkelsen said officers threatened him with a $5,000 fine or five years in prison if he refused to give up his mobile phone password.
The guards reportedly found a meme of US Vice President J.D. Vance with a bald, egg-shaped head in the device's camera footage. The Norwegian was sent home that same day.
