note the article does not even say which visa.

maybe because their are so many. He probably had an H1B and all H1Bs should be repealed. H1B is corporate welfare. It is a program that lets companies exploit workers to make themselves richer on the backs of workers.

Sooner or later people will get the message. Do NOT come to the US on H1B or L1 or H4EAD or OPT or any of these.

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.

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.

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.

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:
https://www.masslive.com/news/2025/05/harvard-scientist-charged-in-connection-with-frog-embryos-brought-to-logan-airport.html

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.

When Jonathan returned from the US to Australia for a quick trip to scatter his sister’s ashes, he packed only two changes of clothes, leaving enough space in his small bag to carry the empty ashes urn to his home in the US. The trip was so brief he didn’t even pack a laptop charger.

The Australian says he was detained and deported when returning from the memorial in March, despite holding a working visa still valid for more than a year. He has been living on the US east coast for the better part of a decade – where his American partner, apartment, work studio and clients remain.

If his home is in the US- why is he still called an Australian?

Wouldn’t his home be in Australia?

You are missing the point. I think what is going on is horrendous but most of America doesn't care. So that is why I am saying the publicity needs to go towards someone who is sympathetic for publicity purposes to convince not well educated people of these abuses but to convince the masses.

She isn't credible enough (and it isn't for me, I already realize what is happening, I mean credible enough to garner public support) because she intentionally planned to bring in the embryos without declaring them. I don't know how there isn't more publicity against Harvard and the principal researcher. What kind of crazy idiot head of her lab thinks it is okay to send a research assistant who is on a visa to France to hand carry embryos into the US while Trump is in office. They must have been too cheap to pay a reputable company to get proper permits which they absolutely know is required to import biological materials. Harvard has so several written procedures that clearly outline the steps for importing biological material. Probably a 100% chance her lab knew they needed permits and chose not to follow the law.

The article doesn't say why his visa was canceled, but does contain a fair amount of unsubstantiated quotations that beg credulity (as if they were enhanced by The Guardian article author).

Also, in a decision on Bourfa v. Mayorkas, the court unanimously affirmed the secretary’s discretion to cancel approved immigration petitions “for what he deems to be good and sufficient cause” under 8 United States Code (USC) §1155, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson delivering the court’s opinion.

They don't "beg credulity" at all. You're a moron living in denial.

PP, I don’t disagree with your assessment, but I fear that poster is more than that. I really think someone from the administration — or perhaps from a pro-Trump think tank — has, as part of their job, the duty to monitor DCUM and post here. Do we really think the typical DCUM poster would be citing Mayorkas and the USC off the top like that? This person is U.S. based, is probably an lawyer, and has a specific style which is pretty recognizable.
