Egyptian Man Kicks CBP Dog at U.S. Airport—Finds Out Instantly That Was a Huge Mistake
A video that’s gone viral captures the moment an Egyptian man, Hamed Ramadan Bayoumy Aly Marie, made a grave error by kicking a CBP dog named Freddie at Dulles Airport, only to face swift and severe consequences. Shared by CBP on Facebook, the footage shows Freddie, a five-year-old beagle, alerting to over 100 pounds of contraband food in Marie’s luggage from Cairo, Egypt.
As officers questioned him, Marie violently kicked Freddie, lifting the 25-pound dog off the ground, an act that led to his immediate arrest. The aftermath? Marie pled guilty to harming an animal used in law enforcement, was sentenced to time served, ordered to pay Freddie’s vet bill for bruised ribs, and deported back to Egypt by Thursday, all within days of the incident.
CBP’s statement underscores the gravity: “Any malicious attack on one of us is an attack on all of us, and CBP will continue to work with our investigating and prosecuting partners to deal swift and severe justice to perpetrators.” This case, unfolding amidst a backdrop of heightened border security, reflects a zero-tolerance policy for such acts.
Social media reactions range from outrage to support for the swift justice, with users debating the implications for international travel and animal rights. This isn’t just about a kick—it’s about a message. The video, a stark reminder of accountability, poses a question for the world: will this deter future offenses? For Marie, it’s a lesson learned too late; for CBP, it’s a stand taken.

I’m shrewd, passionate, learned and energetic, God-fearing and patriotic. I’ve done a fine job reintroducing good old American conservatism to a new generation of Americans. I’ve earned the love and friendship of many, the hatred of some, but the respect of all.
he did not pay a thing, should have ground him up and made him into dog food to feed all the dogs. what about the contraband? why is he not rotting in prison
Dogs rate no higher than pigs in their organizational chart of the universe, so it is small wonder that Hadji was taken aback by our love of God’s lesser miracles. He would probably slap your wife for speaking out of turn as well. Lesson learned…things that work in the East just don’t fly in the West!
When in Rome, Hadji, do as the ROMANS DO! And if you don’t KNOW how the Romans do? Keep your butt at home until you DO know! It’ll save you a lot of lumps.
The dog is obviously smarter than hadji, and it hurt hadji’s feelings.
Why can’t this pos do a year or two in American prison before deportation?
Scumbag.
Very LUCKY I wasn’t there, and OH YEAH, I’D PROUDLY walk gen pop everyday in Leavenworth, for smacking a stinky brown for that. (even THOUGH I WOULD go to jail, and the stinky brown would be free)
We LOVE dogs, named AFTER God FOR a reason….THE very first animal named in the Garden. AND, he could TALK to Adam, can you even imagine? ALL that “went away” with Eve.
