A careless error put a medical student's career in grave danger when they traveled to the United States.  They posted on social media about how the visiting student was arrested by the police at the Chicago O'Hare airport for bringing food that was forbidden.  Their B1/B2 visa was thus denied, and they were not allowed to enter the country.
 
However, given that food items are frequently seized and, in the worst case scenario, the individual is released after hours of incarceration, this appears to be extremely unlikely.  Because of this, a lot of other internet users thought the student was lying or hiding something.  Some conjectured that the traveling student was lying and that the "prohibited food" might actually be narcotics.  Some people even accused the student of visa fraud since they may have misrepresented their motive for visiting the US, even though they were on a B1/B2 tourist visa and intended to complete clinical rotations, a prerequisite for filing for residency.

This might also be a dramatic move to prevent more immigrants from entering the nation, given Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown.  These days, even small mistakes can lead to deportation and future visa issues.  Regardless of the true cause, this case has damaged the student's record and may jeopardize their future employment in the United States.  Given how challenging it is to apply for an H1B in these uncertain times, one should refrain from providing the authorities with any justification for denying your visa.
