US Denies Expelling French Researcher Over Anti-Trump Messages
A French space researcher was denied entry into the United States on March 9th after US authorities discovered what they claim was confidential information from Los Alamos National Laboratory on his phone. France alleges the researcher’s denial was due to critical messages about the Trump administration found on his phone, a claim the US Department of Homeland Security denies. The US asserts the researcher violated a non-disclosure agreement, while France maintains the incident jeopardizes academic freedom. This incident highlights ongoing tensions between the US and other nations regarding immigration policies and free speech.
