A woman said U.S. border agents questioned her about her religion, inspected her cellphone and asked her about her views on President Donald Trump, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported. Fadwa Alaoui, a Canadian citizen born in Morocco, is Muslim and wears a hijab. She tried to gain entry on Saturday at the crossing that goes into Vermont, but she was denied entry, according to the CBC. An executed order by Trump banned travel to the US from seven predominantly Muslim countries, which included Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia or Yemen, for 90 days and the U.S. refugee program for 120 days. An agency spokeswoman said U.S. Customs and Border Protection does not discriminate against foreigners based on religion, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation. The agency does inspect electronic devices. Agents also asked Alaoui, who lives in a Montreal suburb, about a shooting in Quebec City, the CBC reported. The shooting at a mosque on Jan. 26 killed six and others injured. The Trump administration implemented the temporary ban over national security concerns.
