Sometimes Google ain't as simple as it looks

[bigmacbear]

I have spent entirely too much time tonight trying to find an article I read online some months ago. The gist of the story was that a US citizen of color was stopped coming back across the border from Canada, and the border agent got it into his head that this person's identification was forged, destroyed it, and refused him entry into the US. Apparently Canada was forced to process him as a refugee. Entreaties to the person's Congresscritter appeared to have borne no fruit, at least at the time of the article.

Anyone else remember this story? I'm having a great deal of difficulty finding it in Google or Google Groups. Or perhaps somebody out there has evidence it's an urban legend.

Either way, it would be good to know. Thanks much.

I tried a Yahoo! search using "Canadian citizen deported" and got back this link.
