CONTROVERSIAL Muslim activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied has been deported from the US where she was due to speak at a festival supporting free speech. Ms Abdel-Magied confirmed the news on social media to her followers in a series of tweets that she was at the US border where immigration officials said she would be deported back to Amsterdam.
Ms Abdel-Magied said she was in Minneapolis when the incident occurred.
At around 10.35am AEST, she confirmed she was on her way back to where she came from.
US Customs and Border Protection have confirmed that Ms Abdel-Magied was turned away because she did not have the correct visa.
The US CBP said she did not have the appropriate visa to receive payment for her speaking engagements and she was denied admission.
According to the CBP, Ms Abdel-Magied is eligible to re-apply for a US visa in the future.
When the incident first unfolded at 8.18am AEST, she tweeted that she was being stopped at the border in the US. She wrote: "** 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?"
She confirmed minutes later that her deportation was happening by tweeting: "They've taken my phone, cancelled my visa and are deporting me. Will follow up on messages once I understand what's going on."
PEN America Chief Executive Officer Suzanne Nossel released a statement detailing their shock and dismay as they called on US Customs and Border Patrol officials to let her into the US.
Ms Nossel's statement confirmed Ms Abdel-Magied was being sent back to Amsterdam, and they understand that she was travelling on a type of visa that she had used in the past for similar trips without any issue.
"We are dismayed that an invited guest to our annual PEN World Voices Festival in New York, which starts on Monday, Yassmin Abdel-Magied, herself the founder of an organisation called Youth Without Borders, was turned away by US Immigration officials in Minneapolis, reportedly had her phone and passport seized, and was put back on a plane to Amsterdam.
"Abdel-Magied is an advocate of the rights of Muslim women and refugees and is a citizen of Australia, travelling on that country's passport. The very purpose of the PEN World Voices Festival, founded after 9/11 to sustain the connectedness between the US and the wider world, is in jeopardy at a time when efforts at visa bans and tightened immigration restrictions threaten to choke off vital channels of dialogue that are protected under the First Amendment right to receive and impart information through in-person cultural exchange.
