I can't say that surprises me. There's a guy I work with that's been stopped the last three times he's tried to come back into the country. He has an Indian name ... a very common one that would be like Smith here. He's of Indian descent, but was born here in Jersey.
What was really interesting what the last time he was stopped, he was on an official passport (not a tourist one) and had travel orders from his agency. Interestingly enough, this guy has a high level clearance too. None of it helped.
He made some calls when he got back. I'll have to see if he got it straightened out.
