Law French Researcher Expelled From US Over Criticism Of Trump Policy

[filthybliss]

On March 19, 2025, the French government expressed alarm at the expulsion of a French researcher from the United States, citing concerns over academic freedom and the treatment of international scholars. The incident, which took place on March 9, involved a researcher affiliated with the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) who was in the U.S. to attend a conference near Houston, Texas.

Philippe Baptiste, the French Minister of Higher Education and Research, reported that the researcher was denied entry and expelled after U.S. authorities discovered messages on his phone that expressed a "personal opinion" concerning the Trump administration's research policy. Baptiste stated, "I learned with concern that a French researcher, who was traveling to a conference near Houston, was banned from entering the United States and then expelled," as detailed in a release by Agence France-Presse (AFP).

The examination occurred when the researcher, a specialist in the space sector, was subjected to a random security check at the border. During this scrutiny, U.S. agents combed through the contents of his work laptop and personal phone. They found messages that, according to a diplomatic source, "showed hatred towards Trump and could be qualified as terrorism." Subsequently, the authorities seized his devices and deported him back to Europe the next day.

It is becoming too silly at this point. Every accusation is a confession from MAGA.

I think even better for researcher to get kicked out from shithole.

MAGA now is like Lukashenko in Belarus....

In the same France he most likely will have safer environment because he isn't poor.
Also will critique governments and no one will gave f*** about this.

Trump is writing a new chapter in American sensibilities and dragging us into the gutter.

You will not criticise dear leader.
You will not use the wrong language.
You will obey.
You must conform.

What exactly was on his phone?

Take note, when regime defenders can't defend it's actions they instead make light of it all and laugh it off.

 

[Islam Imamate]

What exactly was on his phone?

Do you think it matters? What do you think would justify his expulsion?

 

[terrapin]

What exactly was on his phone?

What do you want to guess that just like with all the people they just deported you just have to trust them that it was really bad but there won't be any evidence provided?

 

[Jar of Flies]

So now criticism of Trump is being considered possible terrorism. We’re heading down a fantastic path.

 

[Sinister]

Freeze peach!!!

 

[K1levelgrappler]

What exactly was on his phone?

Thousands of duplicates of this

 

[terrapin]

I interpret this and other actions as warning shots to American citizens, officials and judges meant to sow fear of repercussions for speaking out against Trump.

Lol, you don't even know what was on his phone, the feds had to look into it after all.

You don't trust your institutions now?

 

[Rob Battisti]

Do you think it matters? What do you think would justify his expulsion?

I think it’s a valid question since TSA doesn’t work for Trump and they said the material constituted terrorism.

If it’s just “orange man bad”, then its a ridiculous abuse of power.

If it’s actual threats, then it’s a different story.

 

[oldshadow]

Do you think it matters? What do you think would justify his expulsion?

Well that would depend on what is actually on his phone.

This is one of those stories where I feel like the truth is a lot different from the media portrayal.

I doubt they'd go through all the trouble over some dude saying "Trump sucks".

Even whites ain’t safe anymore lol

You are probably right about that. We'd have to see what's underneath it, but it could also not be the content so much as what that man is involved in and what particular thing he's speaking out against and whether or not he might have some influence in that area.

There's just a lot we don't know yet.
