Travel to home country

menla seego

hello all - I had a very nasty encounter with an CBP agent upon my return to the US from my home country last month. I have traveled total of 3 times this year to my home country. 1st - February it was my grandmother’s birthday and I visited for 2 weeks to celebrate with her - 96 year old and I’m so GLAD I DID! 2nd - my brother was under severe depression and mental health issues and I visited again in April (for a week) to offer emotional support and assistance with his recovery. 3rd - November, I visited for my niece’s graduation - only a weekend but due to the recent hurricane it got canceled // upon my return to MIA from this trip, I was heavily questioned about my recent travel, if I have sexual partners in my home country, who bought my tickets, what I do for a living, etc. I was super uncomfortable-but I think that was routine? I was called into another part of the airport for them to check my luggage, but I was good and got let go but still - I was completely shaken up after that - am I not allowed to visit my home country? as long as it’s not more than 6 months outside the US?? I told my husband and he said he wishes he had been there but he doesn’t have a passport and refuses to go in to get one!! 4th - now my grandmother has passed and the funeral is this Sunday. I am not sure if I want to take that chance and go. I already bought my tickets weeks ago and as the date is creeping up I am feeling somewhat uneasy about it. Any advice?
