D.J. Newbill accused of ties to terrorism in Germany

DJ Newbill signed a contract to play in France with Tony Parker’s team ASVEL Villeurbanne.

Per Complex.com, According to his European agent Francois Lamy, Newbill was detained at the border between Germany and France and interrogated about his possible connection to terrorism while traveling. Even though it doesn't sound like the German immigration officials who questioned him should have had any reason to believe that Newbill was a terrorist, he was reportedly questioned at length about his reason for being in Europe.
"An officer of the German immigration doubted his statement that he was in Europe to play basketball," Lamy wrote on his Facebook page. "He also doubted that France was the country of final destination. Newbill was interrogated for hours. German immigration officials were convinced he had a terrorist motive."
In his Facebook post, Lamy suggested that racism was to blame for Newbill getting pulled aside and questioned. He believes that the main reason Newbill was detained was the color of his skin.
"If there is a despicable ideology that we must fight, it is that one race is superior to another," Lamy wrote.
