They didn't know that until they had already decided he was "suspect" and detained him. His stated reason, which was legitimate, was that he was attending an awards ceremony on official business. Detaining someone without cause is illegal and a rights violation, even if you later find "evidence" of a crime.

Also, escort work in not illegal in all areas, so this is like detaining someone for planning to visit a weed shop in Colorado.

The journalists at lgbtqnation seem to think it's illegal.

According to U.S. travel law, any individual coming to the U.S. to engage in prostitution or who has done so in the past 10 years is prohibited from entry. Travelers found inadmissible due to sex work can be banned from entry for up to ten years, as is the case with Myles.

Escorting is not prostitution.
