Vt .,: Fadwa Alaoui

vt .,: Alaoui, whose brothers and father live in the U.S., says she had never had an issue entering the United States before Feb. 4, according to CTV. On that day, she says she was treated differently based on religion. Fadwa Alaoui told CTV News Channel Friday that she was held at the Quebec-Vermont border for more than four hours last month before she and her family were turned back to Canada. Alaoui says she was trying to cross the border for a day trip to Burlington, Vt., with her cousin and two children, ages 18 months and five years. Alaoui says she was not expecting to be asked questions about Trump. The Montreal woman says border agents separated her from her cousin and questioned her about place of birth Morocco how often she goes to mosque, the name of her imam, the discussion in the mosque and her opinion of the politics of U.S. President Donald Trump.
