Australian with working visa detained and deported on returning to US from sister’s memorial
Man who says he had previously left and re-entered the country multiple times alleges border officials called him ‘retarded’ and boasted ‘Trump is back in town’
When Jonathan returned from the US to Australia for a quick trip to scatter his sister’s ashes, he packed only two changes of clothes, leaving enough space in his small bag to carry the empty ashes urn to his home in the US. The trip was so brief he didn’t even pack a laptop charger.
The Australian says he was detained and deported when returning from the memorial in March, despite holding a working visa still valid for more than a year. He has been living on the US east coast for the better part of a decade – where his American partner, apartment, work studio and clients remain.
Jonathan, who spoke on the condition his real name was not disclosed, says he is now couch surfing in Australia, separated from his “whole life”.
US is a no-go zone until further notice AFAICT.
He wasn’t entering the US lol. He lived there for a decade and when he left, they didn’t let him back in lol.
You gotta read… stuff
This is an oddly condescending comment for someone who doesn't really understand that him attempting to get "back in" can also be described as attempting to "re-enter"
You should not only read, but also comprehend, before insulting others.
He was still entering he just wasn't entering for the first time. When you go back to work in the morning you still need to enter the building again even if you're there every day
That's the US for you nowadays, basically uninviting, anti-freedom shithole.
I wonder when people will pick up on the subtle hints from the US.
But DOES he condemn Hamas?
/s, of course
