Yassmin Abdel-Magied in US deportation drama

CONTROVERSIAL Australian author and activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied claims she is being held by US customs officials trying to deport her ahead of a speaking engagement in New York City.

Ms Abdel-Magied revealed the unfolding situation in a series of tweets this morning.

“I’m currently at the border and they’ve said I’m being deported,” she wrote. “This should be fun. What are my rights?”

Just before 10am she posted an update claiming officials had seized her phone and cancelled her visa.

She said she was “currently at the border” but did not specify exactly where.

The former engineer and Queensland Young Australian of the Year was scheduled to appear at two events for the Pen America World Voices Festival alongside US author Amani Al-Khatahtbeh on April 18 and April 21.

They were due to discuss the challenges of life as young Muslim women in Western countries. Ms Abdel-Magied was also supposed to take part in a panel discussion about online bullying.

Ms Abdel-Magied first made headlines last year when she described Islam as “the most feminist religion” during an appearance on ABC’s Q & A.

She later caused controversy with an Anzac Day Facebook post saying, “Lest We Forget (Manus, Nauru, Syria, Palestine …)”, which some described as disrespectful to Australian soldiers.

Her ABC TV show Australia Wide was axed the following month.

I wouldn't let her in either.

I absolutely support her right to freedom of speech - but she's an Australian citizen. She can exercise it here.

It's her own problem that when she says things they upset people. Freedom of speech has consequences.

She is not being deported if she never officially entered. She is just being denied entry. We can do that. No one has a “right” to a visa.

Can we deliver her to Saudi Arabia so that she can enjoy "the most feminist religion" in its pure form???

You have the right to shut the f... up, and to get the f... out of my country.

Nice of them to let her use her phone to post after they seized it.

"Islam as “the most feminist religion”"

Don't just deport/exclude her. Ship her back to a Muslim country - in the Islamic-Feminist way:

I have to admit, I never heard of this woman, but as soon as I saw her name, I figured, this is probably what it is all about.

“What are my rights?”

The right to a speedy and humane deportation. Were it up to me she’d only get the first part.

Who says they aren’t ‘progressing’.

At least the ride in the trunk is better than walking alongside and being forced to ‘keep up’ like it was in the mule and camel days.

Some people will biatch if whipped with an uncooked noodle.

She did not clear immigration - therefore she never entered - therefore she is not being deported - just refused entry. Dumb Sudanese muslim refugee.
