James O’Keefe is a bold young activist who has been willing to shine a light on the Obama Administration’s criminal actions for years. After doing a story showing how easy it was to sneak into the country, the man who embarrassed the Obama Administration on several occasions was detained by customs.

Conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents Monday while returning through an airport to U.S. soil. Why? Because he once filmed a video in which he crossed the U.S.-Mexico border without going through customs. And customs agents told him he will be detained every single time he enters the country from overseas henceforth.

O’Keefe’s August video, published exclusively at the time by The Daily Caller, showed the conservative filmmaker freely crossing back and forth between the United States and Mexico dressed as Osama bin Laden, to make a point about Islamic radicals being able to pour onto domestic U.S. soil.

But that was enough to get him detained at the airport and to have an “X” marked on his passport.

Can this country be saved? Or, since we are now at the point where political dissidents are being targeted for harassment by the Obama regime, is America as a free country a lost concept?

Unbelievable: customs agent just told me they detain me everytime bc of the Osama crossing sting we did. And they’ll continue to do so.

At customs again. Lawyers said I can not legally film customs agents. If they ask for phone password and I don’t give they’ll arrest me. — James O’Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) June 22, 2015
