Overview
- In a May 2026 Dexerto interview, YouTuber Arun Maini, known as MrWhosetheboss, disclosed a past U.S. detention and deportation, with outlets reporting no CBP comment.
- He said officers took him to back rooms for aggressive questioning, strip-searched him, and held him in a cell for about 26 hours.
- He said his phone was seized and returned only after his deportation flight had departed, leaving family and sponsors unreachable.
- He attributed the stop to traveling on the wrong visa and said the ordeal cost him a $300,000 assignment.
- He says the incident left a “black mark” that now leads to secondary screening on every later U.S. trip.
