Members of British punk rock band UK Subs denied entry into the US


Three members of the pioneering band were detained and returned to the UK after flying to Los Angeles for a gig

The band, considered pioneers in the genre of British punk rock, have been outspokenly critical of Trump and his policies in the past. “Two police officers escorted me to another section of LAX, where I found Stefan and Marc already detained in a cold holding pen, along with a group of Colombian, Chinese, and Mexican detainees. In a similar situation to UK Subs, a French researcher was denied entry to the US earlier this month after immigration officers at an airport searched his phone and found messages in which he had expressed criticisms of the Trump administration.
