CBP = US Customs and Border Protection
DHS = Department of Homeland Security

I'll repeat what I said: given the current climate, it would be in the interests of the USA to be transparent and release a statement from Homeland Security when these events occur ..

The Daily Mail have now apologised and agreed to pay the Mahmood family damages: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/arti...y-apology.html

An article published in Katie Hopkins' column on 23 December 2015 ('Just because Britain's border security is a Mickey Mouse operation you can't blame America for not letting this lot travel to Disneyland – I wouldn't either') suggested that Mohammed Tariq Mahmood and his brother, Mohammed Zahid Mahmood, are extremists with links to Al Qaeda; that their purported reason for visiting the USA – namely to visit Disneyland – was a lie; and that US Homeland Security were right to prevent them from boarding their flight. We are happy to make clear that Tariq Mahmood and Zahid Mahmood are not extremists, nor do they have links to Al Qaeda. They were travelling to the USA with their families to see one of their brothers for a holiday in California and they had indeed planned to visit Disneyland as part of their trip.

Re: Calls for Cameron to step in after US bars British Muslim family from Disneyland
I dislike the way that the Mail apologises on Hopkins behalf..why can't she make her own apology?

Re: Calls for Cameron to step in after US bars British Muslim family from Disneyland
Aha! Apparently she did so via Twitter. However I think she could have done better than that.

Re: Calls for Cameron to step in after US bars British Muslim family from Disneyland
Presumably the Mail has to apologise since they printed her article and what she does personally is different. Her apology might well be seen by more people on Twitter than in the DM but she should do so there too.

Re: Calls for Cameron to step in after US bars British Muslim family from Disneyland
Yeah it's the Mail's responsibility ultimately.

She's a Mail journalist, writing things for the Daily Mail to say. Whatever personal liability she might have, its usual for a newspaper to be contractually obliged to accept responsibility for what its staff and contributors write for its pages. The legal constraints and the large sums of money involved mean that restitution, including apologies, are very precisely agreed and conducted.
Having said all that, she did apologise, albeit minimally and timed to appear at 2am when she presumably hoped nobody would notice.
