The arrival of the Senegal national football team in the US for the 2026 World Cup has sparked controversy on social media.
Sport.Biz reports that the footage shows team members being screened in an area near the airport's runway after getting off the plane.
The footage shows the players and delegation of the Senegal national team standing next to their luggage, while security personnel conduct additional checks. One of the videos shows a player being screened with a hand detector with his hands up.
The incident has sparked a wider debate against the backdrop of the Trump administration's migration and border control policies. Earlier, it was reported that restrictions on the travel of Senegal and Ivory Coast fans to the US could affect their World Cup plans.
The Senegal national team will compete in the same group as France, Iraq, and Norway at the World Cup, which will be held in the US, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19.
