Mats is a couple of weeks before his departure to the US and reads in the news about a story that makes him scared. 

A young Palestinian man, Ismal Ajjawi,  living in Lebanon has been granted a scholarship at Harvard and has his student Visa to the US. 

When he arrives at the airport at Boston he is rejected by the CBP, Customs and Border Protection officers.
