French scientist is denied entry to the US after immigration officers find 'hateful' text messages criticising Trump during search of his phone

A French scientist was denied entry to the US after immigration officials discovered 'hateful' text messages criticising Donald Trump on his phone.

The space researcher - who has not yet been named - was subject to a random airport search on his way to a conference in Houston, Texas.

Officers found messages 'which conveyed a hatred toward Trump and could be considered to be terrorism', according to AFP, while another source suggested they felt the messages were 'hateful and conspiracy'.
 
The FBI later informed the academic that they had opened an investigation into the matter, but the agency later dropped charges.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Did the US get permission from a federal judge to deny his "rights" to enter the US? :whistle:
