B.C. firefighter says he was denied entry to U.S.: ‘Good enough to fight their wars but not good enough to cross their borders’

A B.C. firefighter says he was denied entry into the United States, where he was going to take part in a competition for First Responders from different countries around the world.

Jamie Flynn posted on social media on Thursday to detail what happened to him when he was en route to Birmingham, Alabama. He said he was supposed to represent Vancouver firefighters in the Jiu Jitsu category at the World Police & Fire Games. Flynn, who is a British citizen, described the games as an “international event uniting frontline responders through sport,” in a post on Instagram.
