Ibtihaj Muhammad made headlines around the world after becoming the first American hijabi to compete in the Olympic Games.
But that hasn't stopped the Muslim-American saber fencer from being affected by Trump's Muslim ban.
In an interview with Pop Sugar, Muhammad said she was personally held at U.S. Customs for two hours.
"I don't know why. I can't tell you why it happened to me, but I know that I'm Muslim. I have an Arabic name," Muhammad said.
"And even though I represent Team USA and I have that Olympic hardware, it doesn't change how you look and how people perceive you."
Muhammad spoke with Pop Sugar moments after she took the stage at the MAKERS conference on Tuesday, where she talked about empowerment, representation, and athleticism.
Muhammad is known for being outspoken against discrimination. She's also a strong supporter of minorities.
"I think that we will come out on top as women, as people of color, as Muslims, as transgender people, as people who are part of the disabled community — I think that we'll come out on top."
This isn't the first time Muhammad is discriminated against. Earlier in 2016, Ibtihaj was asked to remove her hijab by staff at the SXSW Festival.
At the time, she explained that she wears the head scarf for religious reasons, but the registration authorities insisted she take it off.
When Muhammad finally received the badge, authorities gave her one with the wrong name.
"It is not our policy that a hijab or any religious head covering be removed in order to pick up a SXSW badge," SXSW said in a statement following the incident.
"This was one volunteer who made an insensitive request and that person has been removed for the duration of the event."
