French scientist denied US entry after phone messages critical of Trump found
-
Phone searches: not new. People being rejected at the border because of posts critical of the incoming president, yes, that is very much a new thing.
Would love to see some stories of people rejected at the border for criticism of Biden or Obama if you can find any.
People already worried then. There was no need for the law to grand this power. We don't need laws if wo rely on people to be just.

France’s research minister said a French scientist was denied entry to the US this month after immigration officers at an airport searched his phone and found messages in which he had expressed criticism of the Trump administration.
The USA has no place criticising the actions of other countries. Never has.
-
I seriously doubt the intelligence of anyone still traveling to the USA. I hope whatever project he is working on is not critical.
These types of things are usually scheduled well in advance. Just one example, it is worth noting that I am not saying that this was the reason the scientist traveled to the United States, scientific centers with certain types of very expensive equipment usually rent it to projects from other scientific centers and universities, sometimes with such high demand that you can wait years for it to be available for your project.
-
these travels are scheduled months even years in advance depending on the field of study, nobody could have predicted how much worse second Trumps term would be. also other than travelling to somewhere where its bad much more reliable indicator of low intelligence are very confident statements outside of their own depth.

Funny that the US has become more like Russia since Trump was elected.
Who would have thought. (Literally everyone)
-
Is there any message that actually should keep a person out? Like who gives a fuck if they say Trump should be hung because he's a traitor and Russian asset?
They should be able to say something like that or like I hope Vance is getting raped by his orange daddy and still be welcome in our country. This is America damnit.
Yes, death threats and rape threats are a good reason why a visitor should not be admitted to the United States.

more reliable indicator of low intelligence
I would add inability to use proper punctuation to that criteria.
*those criteria, criterion being a singular.

Welcome to Trumps America.
Where everything that Trump doesnt like, or is critical of him, is Terrorism.
