One would normally associate this type of story with third-world nationals trying to find work illegally in the U.S. But an Italian law graduate with American ties, being detained for 10 days, refused entry AND prevented from returning to Rome?
Italy is one of 27 "visa waiver" countries, whose citizens are permitted to enter the U.S. for 90 days without a visa. Their admission is subject to Customs and Border Protection personnel. According to the article such detentions are rare (less than 0.05% if you do the math), but the point is is that it can happen to anybody.
