Canadian man says U.S. border officers made him give DNA sample

Ok, from the title, asking for DNA might be too much. > He says he wanted to join Americans at the “No Kings” rally . > Larson said he felt there was a good chance he’d be turned away at the border, “but I didn't expect the treatment that I got,” OK, what did he expect by explicitly stating that he wanted to bring disruption to a country? However you feel about the US situation, I think any border agent in the world would consider you a liability if you explicitly state that you want to take part in a demonstration against the elected government.
