…Acc/to an #AFP source, the incident occurred on March 9. The space #science researcher allegedly underwent a *random* check on arrival, during which his work #computer & personal #phone were searched.…Messages referring to the treatment of scientists by the #Trump admin were found. He was accused of messages "which reflect hatred towards Trump & can be described as terrorism". His professional & personal equipment was #confiscated & the researcher was sent back to #Europe…

Acc/to another informed source of #AFP, "hate & conspiracy messages" were blamed on the French researcher by #US authorities. An #FBI investigation into him was announced, for which "the charges have been abandoned," continues this source.

…This incident comes as… #Trump has increased his shocking announcements targeting the #scientific community (brutal #BudgetCuts, #censorship of certain subjects in subsidized research...).

"I learned w/concern that a French researcher [on assignment for the French National Center for Scientific Research (#CNRS)] who was traveling to a conference…was denied entry to the #UnitedStates before being expelled. This measure was apparently taken by the American authorities because the researcher's phone contained exchanges w/colleagues & friends in which he expressed a personal #opinion on the #Trump admin's research policy,” said #France’s Minister of Higher #Education & #Research.
