Norwegian Tourist Claims U.S. Denied Him Entry Over a J.D. Vance Meme. Authorities Said It Was His Drug Use

“Two pictures spoiled Mads’ dream vacation,” read a headline from Norwegian newspaper Nordlys on Monday, which was amplified by British tabloid the Daily Mail on Tuesday.

Mads Mikkelsen—not the Danish actor but a 21-year-old tourist from Norway—told his hometown outlet that he was denied entry to the U.S. at Newark Liberty International Airport on June 11 after handing over his phone to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials who came across a meme of U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance.
