> “I thought I was just going to be given my passport and sent on my way, or maybe asked a couple of questions, but they made some pretty outlandish accusations. They said, ‘We know you have two mobile phones. We’ve been tracking your calls. We know you’ve been selling drugs’.”
> He says he told the border officer he did not drink, smoke or take drugs and owned just one phone. He was asked for his passcode.
> “That didn’t sound right. **I asked to talk to a lawyer and they told me I had no rights.”** He says he was given a brochure explaining that he must surrender his phone and so handed it over, along with his smartwatch.
> He says things “seemed really fucking weird” but he was careful to remain “overly polite”. He says when he asked the officer to repeat a comment he hadn’t heard, the man replied: “Are you deaf or just r*t*rded?”
!ping AUS&IMMIGRATION&SNEK
ICE is irredeemable and all personnel need to be replaced to unfuck the culture.
Not that Trump supporting rubes care, because they don’t travel internationally, but this kind of shit is going to make it difficult and dangerous for Americans to travel abroad. President Abusive Dad is preventing us from visiting our friends.
> He says his visa was still valid for more than 15 months and he had left and re-entered the US without any problems about 20 times holding the same class of visa.
> He says that over a series of short interviews amounting to about half an hour, the official told him his visa had been cancelled and that he was banned from entering the US for five years, including as a transit passenger. He was told he would be placed on a flight to Australia and was handed a document informing him that he was an “immigrant not in possession of a valid unexpired immigrant visa” as required by the Immigration and Nationality Act. He says he felt he had no choice but to sign the document, which Guardian Australia has seen.
> He says the official then told him: “Trump is back in town; we’re doing things the way we should have always been doing them.”
Genuine Stasi behavior, for which there is no obvious and immediate remedy. Just disgusting.
The expansion of the administrative state continues to doom us all…
So sounds like an E3 visa which requires no permanent intent to stay. But omfg the guy clearly still has personal connections to his home by travelling to fucking Australia for his sister’s memorial.
In addition from the USCIS
> E-3 visas are not dual intent visas in the sense of H-1B visas and L-1 visas. However, an application for initial admission, change of status or extension of stay, may not be denied solely on the basis of an approved request for permanent labor certification or a filed or approved immigrant visa preference petition.
