Early on the morning of February 2, 2008, the RNC Welcoming Committee’s Northeast Tour was denied entry to Canada- and had to cancel all Canadian events. Upon attempting to backtrack into the US, they were detained for 4 1/2 hours. During this time, officials from both the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the FBI were called in, all their literature was examined and copied, and their computers were taken and the contents reviewed. They were threatened with seizure of their property and “Felony Obstruction of a Federal Investigation” charges, and one individual was put into a holding cell for over an hour. Eventually they were released and told all belongings had been returned to their vehicle- however, upon return to their vehicle they noted that one computer was missing. After going back into the Inspection Building and noting this discrepancy, it was returned.
