Immigration officials reportedly detained and questioned the son of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali earlier this month at a Florida airport. According to a family lawyer, authorities questioned Muhammad Ali Jr., 44, and his mother, Khalilah Camacho-Ali, regarding their name and religion. The Philadelphia-born U.S. citizen was interrogated for two hours, repeatedly asking him, "Where did you get your name from?" and "Are you Muslim?" The incident, which took place on February 7, was the first time the family was ever questioned by authorities, according to media reports.
