A second German citizen (travelling as a tourist) has been arrested at the US border and is being detained for deportation.
I definitely won't be travelling to the US any time soon, *especially* for science events. It's too easy to end up causing misunderstandings at the border (Are you there to work? Does the agent think you may want to stay?), and the agents have apparently been instructed to be even more suspicious and "crack down" on cases at will. #science #academicChatter #scienceAtRisk #usTravel
