Australian author and TV personality Yassmin Abdel-Magied has said on social media that she is being deported from the US.
On Twitter, Abdel-Magied was advertising her appearance at the PEN World Voices festival in New York, speaking on a panel titled “The M Word: No country for young Muslim Women”. But her tweet offered the caveat: “If they will let me in. I’m currently at the border and they’ve said I’m being deported. This should be fun. What are my rights?”
The author said that three hours after touching down in Minneapolis, she was put back on a plane without possession of her passport. The Guardian understands she is being returned to Amsterdam, from where she had come.
It appears border security officials rejected her admission to the US because of the type of visa she was travelling on.
yadda yadda yadda
Should HRC be scrapped and replaced with an "Equal Opportunity Commission"? Would that help eliminate discrimination based on sexual proclivities, equity bias, etc?
Yes, the HRC should be scrapped.
I don't know if you need any replacement, it would just be a snouts in the trough exercise for some political mates of the government.
