    Muhammad Ali Jr. detained by immigration at Florida airport

    Muhammad Ali Jr., son of the late legendary boxer, was reportedly detained for several hours by immigration officials at a Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

    According to a report by the Courier-Journal, Ali and his mother Khalilah Camacho-Ali were arriving at the airport from a Black History Month event in Jamaica on Feb. 7 when they were pulled aside by customs and asked if they were Muslim.

    Ali's lawyer Chris Mancini told the Courier-Journal that while Camacho-Ali was let go, her son was questioned for almost two hours about his origin, where he was born and his religion.
    Ali is a Muslim born in Philadelphia and holds a U.S. passport.
