[FONT=&]A lawyer says the son of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali was detained earlier this month by immigration officials at a Florida airport.
[FONT=&]Muhammad Ali Jr., 44, and his mother Khalilah Camacho-Ali, the second wife of Muhammad Ali, arrived at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on Feb. 7 after returning from Jamaica, Chris Mancini, the lawyer, said.
[FONT=&]
The family is considering a lawsuit.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]The Courier-Journal reported that immigration officials let his mother go because hse showed them a picture of herself with the boxing legend. Her son did not have a photo, the report said.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Mancini said officials questioned Ali Jr. for nearly two hours, repeatedly asking him, "Where did you get your name from?" and "Are you Muslim?"
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Mancini says officials continued questioning Ali Jr. after acknowledging that he was Muslim. Ali Jr., who has no criminal record, was born in Philadelphia and holds a U.S. passport.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials say they "cannot discuss individual travelers; however, all international travelers arriving in the U.S. are subject to CBP inspection."
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]"This is an outrage," Mancini, a former federal prosecutor and family friend, told The Miami New Times. "I don't know what is going on with Mr. Trump's claim that his ban is not religion-based. We do not discriminate in this country based on religion."
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Mancini said, despite frequent traveling, the two have never been subjected to detainment before.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]"Imagine walking into an airport and being asked about your religion," he said. "This is classic customs profiling."[/FONT]
