Palestinian Harvard student says US nixed visa after social media search

A Palestinian teenager admitted to Harvard University said he was detained for hours at Boston's airport and refused entry into the United States after officers disapproved of his friends' political comments on social media. Ismail Ajjawi, who lives in Lebanon, said that an officer also asked him about his religion during eight hours of questioning Friday at Logan International Airport, according to an account he provided to the campus newspaper, The Harvard Crimson.
