A 21-year-old Norwegian tourist, Mads Mikkelsen, got barred from entering the US at Newark Airport on June 11 because ICE officers found a meme on his phone—a bald, egg-headed JD Vance. Yeah, that’s the crime of the century right there. The kid was reportedly threatened with a $5,000 fine or five years in prison if he didn’t unlock his phone. Then they grilled him on drug trafficking, terrorism, and right-wing extremism—because apparently a silly meme screams "international threat." He described it as straight-up harassment and abuse of power, and honestly, I’m not shocked. Sounds like a classic case of overzealous officials flexing on a random tourist to justify their day.
This isn’t even the first time JD Vance and memes have stirred up immigration drama. Just a couple weeks earlier, on June 10, Vance got tagged in a viral spat with a fashion influencer, Derek Guy, who admitted to being undocumented in the US. Vance responded with a Jack Nicholson meme that many took as a not-so-subtle deportation nod. The guy’s got a pattern—memes seem to be his weapon of choice for throwing shade. And now, here we are, with a Norwegian kid caught in the crossfire of what looks like a hypersensitive ICE operation, possibly emboldened by the Trump administration’s hardline immigration stance.
What’s wilder is the irony Pekka pointed out: the same folks crying about Europe stifling free speech are apparently fine with detaining someone over a meme. If a bald JD Vance pic is enough to get you banned from the US, maybe we should all start deleting our meme folders before crossing the border. Thoughts?
