And some twitters and part of the blogosphere are confirming the same.

And this too http://www.kstk.org/2017/01/30/wrang...mp-travel-ban/ probably involved GE revocation.

For the past few days, GE at LAX, IAD, DFW and HOU have been kicking out lranian-Americans like crazy. These US airports of entry have a higher proportion of Iranian-Americans in the catchment area for the airports than most other US airports of entry.

Amusingly on the most recent Sunday and Monday and Tuesday, when people who look like Iranian-Americans but aren't and show up with a valid GE slip after having declared say food, it hasn't been unheard of for some of them to be (wrongfully) perceived (by CBP) to be FAMs on the flights and asked as much by CBP. Go figure.
