　　United States officials denied a Palestinian student's request to enter the country this month. The student was planning to attend classes at Harvard University. Some Americans are calling what happened to him an example of overly invasive safeguards at U.S. border checkpoints. Ismail Ajjawi was refused entry after landing last week at Boston's airport in Massachusetts. The 17-year-old said his denial was linked to political messages published by his friends on social media. A U.S. Customs and Border Protection official, however, would not confirm the information. The official told The Associated Press that the decision to cancel Ajjawi's visa was based on information discovered during an inspection. The official added, he can still try to reapply for visa to enter the country. Ajjawi told the Harvard University student newspaper that federal agents detained him for eight hours. He said they searched his electronic devices and questioned him about his friends' social media posts. They included "political points of view that oppose the U.S.," he said in a statement. A Harvard University official said the school is working "to resolve this matter so that he can join his classmates in the coming days." AMIDEAST, a not-for-profit organization that awarded Ajjawi a scholarship, is providing legal assistance. Ajjawi told The Harvard Crimson newspaper he still hopes to join his classmates in time for the start of classes next week. His family lives in a camp for Palestinian refugees in the southern Lebanese city of Tyre.
