[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is rules were never enforced so now that rules are being enforced people are getting upset.

If you come on a working visa you have to continue to maintain you do not have an intent to stay permanently in the US. He had been in the US "for a better part of a decade". It sounds from the article he intended to make his life in the US.

The article says Jonathan says the official suggested he was carrying human remains and sent for Centers for Disease Control agents to assess the empty ashes urn. He says when he explained he had been living in the US for more than five years, he was asked: “Oh you live here, do you?”

Jonathan says: “Then he told me I didn’t have the right visa – apparently saying I lived there showed that I had intent to stay and not leave.”

I don't understand your rationalization. His visa was not expired. When I did a semester abroad in Spain, I said I "lived" there. What in the world is your point? What rule?

Who are you actually trying to save America for?

The reason you and the other PP - maybe you are the same person - sound like you are in the Trump administration is because you are rationalizing  actions taken by the this horrific and sadistic administration after the fact. You sound like you are feeding chat gpt and lamely coming up with explanations that you don't fully understand.

No intelligent and sincere person thinks that this behavior is making our country safer or better off. You are ruining the tourist industry and deporting innocent people. You will be villains in the History books. Your children grandchildren will revile you.[/quote]

You studied in Spain for a semester. If you had been there "the better part of a decade" and said you lived there and that you were bringing your sister's urn to Spain there is a good chance that Spain would think you never intended to leave.

There aren't words to describe how much I despise Trump but we need to find a credible sympathetic immigrant who is deported. This story isn't even verified. That is the only way most of the US will care. No more El Salvadorans or Venezuelans who may or may not be gang members, students who had anything to do with encampments, doctors who go to Hamas funerals, students on visas who have been fingerprinted because they were speeding recklessly, had DUI's etc.

We need to find a story from a sympathetic appearing immigrant not from the Middle East or Latin America whose story is airtight. Maybe a veteran or Irish immigrant?  Physically attractive? An immigrant who rescued a child from a fire? This sounds so wacky since most of these cases are appalling but most of America simply doesn't care unless they can relate. [/quote]

There’s been a Russian anti Putin woman on a study visa (J1) who tried to bring in frog embryos for her studies (aging) and was turned away at the border. Ksenia Petrova I think her name is. Idk if she’s credible enough for you. [/quote]
Update on Petrova:

She is absolutely NOT sympathetic enough because she knowingly violated the law.  It is concerning when researchers think rules don't apply to them. This is not only in violation of the law it is in violation of Harvard's Policies. So either her principal researcher set her up and is letting her take the fall or she just didn't care to follow the rules and /or they are just incredibly cheap not to pay a company to officially declare and deliver the samples. Harvard researchers should absolutely know how the proper procedure that is written down in Harvard's policies on transporting biological samples.  The issue is if you think the rules don't apply to you, maybe it isn't a good idea to be trusted with honestly doing research.

This is an article from Mass Live:

Petrova returned from France with “non-hazardous, noninfectious, and non-toxic frog embryos” at the request of her supervisor at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Leonid Peshkin, according to court documents.

An ICE K9 unit alerted its handler to Petrova’s duffle bag on the baggage carousel, Foley’s office said. Agents then stopped Petrova, removed her bag and brought it for further screening. Inside was a foam box with clawed frog embryos in microcentrifuges, as well as embryonic samples in paraffin well stages and on mounted dyed slides.

Petrova initially denied carrying any biological material in her checked bag before admitting that she was carrying such material, Foley’s office said. While speaking with law enforcement, she said she needed to declare the embryos before entering the United States.

Her phone showed text messages from one of her colleagues telling her to declare the embryos “because [Transportation Security Administration] went through my bags at customs in Boston,” Foley’s office said.

According to the charging documents, however, Petrova’s phone revealed text messages from an individual identified as one of Petrova’s colleagues informing Petrova that she was required to declare the biological material:

“What is your plan to pass the American Customs with samples?” one of the texts to Petrova read, according to Foley. “This is the most delicate place of the trajectory.”

Another text conversation with her “principal investigator” showed that Petrova replied that she did not have a plan to get the samples through customs.

“No plan yet. I won’t be able to swallow them,” Petrova texted back, according to Foley.

Petrova was advised by agents that she was ineligible to enter the country with the undeclared embryos, the statement read. When asked if she would withdraw her application for admission, she replied yes before her arrest.

When asked if she feared returning to Russia, Petrova said she had a valid Schengen visa that allows her entry into 29 European countries, including France, according to a complaint she filed. After this, she was detained and transferred to ICE custody to await a credible fear interview.[/quote]
