Omar Abdulkadir Artan, Somali World Cup referee arrived in Miami from Istanbul with a valid US visa but was pulled aside for an 11-hour secondary inspection by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
He was ultimately deemed inadmissible under the Immigration and Nationality Act and put on a flight back to Turkey
