Music Scholar Barred From U.S., but No One Will Tell Her Why
Nalini Ghuman, British musicologist and expert on Elgar, living in the US for the last ten years, employed at a California college and respected in her field, detained then ejected from US, no reasons given.
“I don’t know why it’s happened, what I’m accused of,” she said. “There’s no opportunity to defend myself. One is just completely powerless.”
“They told me I was nobody, I was nowhere and I had no rights,” she said. “For the first time, I understood what the deprivation of liberty means.”
This is not how America is supposed to work. >:-(
Brought to my attention by this Brunchma thread discussing tourism in America and the declining US dollar. I don't normally post political stuff or whatnot, but this upset me.
