The ministry's official spokesperson, Saba Al Rafei, said U.S. authorities told the Jordanian embassy in Washington that Mohammad Abu Khadra was denied entry to the country and is being held because he is considered a minor, who didn't complete 18-year-old, can't enter without his parents accompanying him.

She added that the Heartland International Children's Center, where Abu Khadra is detained, is in contact with Abu Khadra's family, through a lawyer, to ascertain he had his parent's consent before flying to the U.S.
