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.
Jonathan, who spoke on the condition his real name was not disclosed, says he is now couch surfing in Australia, separated from his “whole life”.
US is a no-go zone until further notice AFAICT.

This is an oddly condescending comment for someone who doesn’t really understand that him attempting to get “back in” can also be described as attempting to “re-enter”
You should not only read, but also comprehend, before insulting others.
He was still entering he just wasn’t entering for the first time. When you go back to work in the morning you still need to enter the building again even if you’re there every day
“Didn’t let him back in”. So, like, didn’t let him ENTER? Reading is good and all, but you’ve also got to understand what it means.
But DOES he condemn Hamas?
/s, of course
That’s the US for you nowadays, basically uninviting, anti-freedom shithole.
I wonder when people will pick up on the subtle hints from the US.
Yeah you can’t just jet off whenever you like if you have a work visa. You need to get permission from the Immigration department first.
People often find this out when they do a quick trip over the border to Canada or Mexico.
I googled this,
“Generally, *holding a US work visa does not require special permission to leave and re-enter the country, as long as your visa and the period of stay authorized by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are valid“
So if you have a valid source for that I would be interested to see it. I won’t lie though even if you can produce anything it wont make me think of the US as anything but a shithole because that’s a shitty thing to have anyway.
I have to wonder if you wiped after you pulled this completely incorrect factoid out of your ass. Cut it out.
Tell me you’ve never even been friends with an immigrant without telling me
What in the hell are you talking about
