The [Monday] Papers
"A BBC journalist has said he was detained for two hours and subjected to invasive checks at the U.S. border by officials imposing Donald Trump's travel ban," the Independent reports.
"British citizen Ali Hamedani, who was born in Iran, said he was forced to hand over his phone and its password so it could be scoured for his political views.
"The BBC World Service reporter's social media accounts were probed despite him having traveled to Chicago's O'Hare airport from London Heathrow while holding a British passport."
When phone was siezed it took me a few mins to remember here is the US and no one can question me about my viewes. He was reading my tweets.
