US denies entry to French scientist over 'hateful' messages

Paris (AFP) – France has expressed concern after US border agents read the contents of a visiting French space scientist's smartphone and deported him after accusing him of "hateful" messages against US policy. [...]

"I learned with concern that a French researcher who was heading to a conference near Houston was forbidden from entering US territory before being expelled," Higher Education Minister Philippe Baptiste told AFP on Wednesday. "This measure was taken by the US authorities because the researcher's phone contained exchanges with colleagues and friends in which he expressed his political opinion on the policies of the Trump administration on research," he said. A diplomatic source said a space scientist was stopped at the US border on March 9, with officials combing through the contents of his work laptop and phone during a "random" security check. US agents found messages about the treatment of scientists under the new US administration that "showed hatred towards Trump and could be qualified as terrorism", the same source said.

Himmel, ein Wissenschaftler äußert innerhalb seiner privaten Accounts harsche Kritik an der Vorgehensweise der gegenwärtigen US-Administration und wird deswegen zur persona non grata? Ernsthaft?

Diese Burschen von Pseudo-Border-Agents sollten sich warm anziehen, wenn der immer so ehrlich wirkende und auf Meinungsfreiheit pochende US-Vize J. D. Vance erfährt, wie hier mit der Meinungsfreiheit umgegangen wird. Okay, bittersaurer Schenkelklopfer...
