I dunno, I have dealt with US immigration a few times and I found them to be at the top end of arseholedom. Even Russian immigration are nicer..not kidding and that's saying something.
It does seem a bit odd. Mind you immigration in the US have sent non-asian Brits back home cos they discovered there is an unpaid parking ticket or similar trivial offense. I remember that one and they way the guy was treated was a disgrace.
For now I am giving the guy the benefit of the doubt until more info comes out later.
