Still swaggering! Justin Bieber pulls a tongue and grabs his crotch in front of waiting photographers as he's released after being detained for FIVE hours at LAX

Justin Bieber has been released after being detained at LAX for five hours by customs, following a trip back into the US from an international trip. The Boyfriend singer arrived at the airport from Singapore around 1pm on Thursday, and a source close to Justin told MailOnline that he was set back by 'secondary questioning' from TSA at the airport.'Justin was held up upon arrival while his bodyguards and his luggage were waiting outside for him. He went through routine secondary questioning but has now been released,' we're told.

It comes a week after the White House responded to a petition that requested the U.S. government deport the Canadian native. 

'Sorry to disappoint, but we won't be commenting on this one,' the White House said in a statement.

'We'll leave it to others to comment on Mr. Bieber’s case, but we're glad you care about immigration issues. Because our current system is broken. Too many employers game the system by hiring undocumented workers, and 11 million people are living in the shadows.'

This isn't the first time that been detained at an airport.

The turbulent teen singer was accused of abusing a flight attendant on a private jet until she was forced to hide in the cockpit on January 31, and he was detained in Australia on November 24 after using 'inappropriate language' when his entourage were searched.
