Ok, from the title, asking for DNA might be too much.

OK, what did he expect by explicitly stating that he wanted to bring disruption to a country?
However you feel about the US situation, I think any border agent in the world would consider you a liability if you explicitly state that you want to take part in a demonstration against the elected government.
