A Norwegian tourist says he was denied entry after U.S. border authorities found a meme of JD Vance on his phone, but DHS says otherwise.

Irish lawmaker Ivana Bacik held up a meme depicting Vice President JD Vance, in her country's parliament on Tuesday following reports a 21-year-old Norwegian tourist was refused access to the U.S. because he had the image on his phone.

The Trump Administration said reports a man was denied entry over a meme on his phone are false, but tourists have been experiencing tighter controls.
