There's a report on File 770 that the CBP has grabbed science fiction
author Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki. Going by the comments, it appears no
one has heard from him for 3 days.

This is not the first time this has happened to him. He had real trouble even getting a visa for Worldcon.
The visa system is very cumbersome and obscure and there are a lot of
rules and if you are from a third-world country you pretty much need a specialist lawyer to prevent stuff like this. Even if you're just a
tourist who wants to come over to see Disneyland.
