Australian with working visa detained and deported on returning to US from sister's memorial
Man who says he had previously left and re-entered the country multiple times alleges border officials called him 'retarded' and boasted
'Trump is back in town'When Jonathan returned from the
US to Australia for a two-day trip to scatter his sister's ashes, he packed only two changes of
clothes, leaving enough space in his small bag to carry the empty ashes urn to his home in the US. The trip was so brief he didn't even pack a laptop charger.
The Australian says he was detained and deported when returning from the memorial in March, despite holding a working visa still valid for more than 15 months. He has been living on the US east coast for seven years - where his American partner, apartment, work studio and clients remain.
