Muhammad Ali Jr. Detained Again at Washington Airport

A month after he was held and questioned by immigration officials at a Florida airport, Muhammad Ali Jr. was reportedly detained again Friday.

Ali Jr. was apparently detained on a flight heading from Washington, D.C., to Fort Lauderdale, according to a tweet from the account of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla.

The tweet read, “On way home on DOMESTIC FLIGHT Muhammad Ali Jr. detained AGAIN by @DHSgov. Religiously profiling son of ‘The Greatest’ will not make us safe.”
