Summary
US immigration officers denied entry to a French scientist traveling to Houston after finding phone messages criticizing the Trump administration.
French research minister Philippe Baptiste condemned the decision, stressing the importance of academic freedom.
US authorities reportedly accused the scientist of “hateful and conspiratorial messages” but later dropped charges.
Baptiste has been vocal against Trump and Elon Musk for cutting research funding and invited American scientists to relocate to France.
I have anti Trump messages on my phone. Can I get a free deportation out of here? I’ll let my family sell my shit and send me the money.
The government will keep your money probably lol
No they’ll just throw citizens in internment camps
No, you need to buy your own ticket like the French scientist had to. The flight back isn’t free either unless they insured the travel for such conditions.
