It was the first time Ali Jr. and his mother have ever been asked if they're Muslim when re-entering the United States, he said."From the way they were treated, from what was said to them, they can come up with no other rational explanation except they fell intoa profiling program run by customs, which is designed to obtain information from anyone who says they're a Muslim,"Mancini said in a phone interview with the Times."It's quite clear that what triggered his detention was his Arabic name and his religion."During his detention, Ali Jr. was asked repeatedly about his lineage and his name,"as if that was a pre-programmed question that was part of a profile,"Mancini said.US President Donald TrumpCamacho Ali and Ali Jr. live in Florida. They have not traveled abroad since, and are considering filing a federal lawsuit.Ali, a three-time heavyweight champion and humanitarian,died last June at age 74 after a long battle with Parkinson's disease.In December 2015, he released a statement:"We as Muslims have to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personalagenda,"he said.He is one of the most recognized sports figures of the past 100 years, crowned”Sportsman of the Century” by Sports Illustrated and “Sports Personality of the Century” by the BBC.

Mbereko, 40, has been a widow for the past 12 years and has been living with her 23-years-old son Farai Mbereko.
