That's actually a real shame.
Being denied entry into the US by CBP at a port of entry is frustrating, but a fairly straight forward and painless process. There's effectively zero chance of getting shanked at LAX.
On the other hand, had Mr. Pavlou been arrested and detained by LASD for trespassing and stalking Miss Eilish in Malibu, he would've discovered the true meaning of freedom®!
From
— where he'd be hosted by the most
hospitable of American
and
— to arraignment before a local judge to transfer to ICE custody for deportation, Drew would've enjoyed an extended, most excellent and well deserved
vacation at taxpayer expense.
Plus knowing his attitude, young Pavlou would've certainly gotten a chance to experience firsthand what it means to "resist arrest" in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave™.
