Ten days after being detained at Boston Logan International Airport and deported back to the Middle East, a 17-year-old Palestinian student from Tyre, Lebanon, was readmitted into the U.S. and allowed to begin his undergraduate education at Harvard University this week.
As reported by The Harvard Crimson, Ismail Ajjawi, a member of Harvard’s 2023 class, was determined to be “inadmissible” by immigration authorities a few days before the start of the semester after he was detained for several hours at Logan International, had his cell phone and computer temporarily confiscated for review, and was questioned about his friends’ social media activity and his political and religious beliefs, according to the student.
