Incoming Harvard Freshman Deported After Visa Revoked

Actually, there's plenty of information to inform such a decision:

While the other students were allowed to leave, Ajjawi alleges an immigration officer continued to question him about his religion and religious practices in Lebanon.

So it looks like they deported him because, first, he was a raghead...

“After the 5 hours ended, she called me into a room , and she started screaming at me. She said that she found people posting political points of view that oppose the US on my friend[s] list.”

and second because he has friends (or random associates) who disagree with U.S. foreign policy.

@hourislate's point is that this is a "he said, she said" story in which only he has said anything. USCIS, as the article said, can't say anything.

USCIS should not be involved at all. It should be just CBP.

Please read the Crimson article. Only CBP was involved, both in the interaction and in the public relations around this.

"he said, she said" is only useful when both he and she have relatively equal power. When one entity can hold a metaphorical gun to the other person's head, it no longer works.
