A French scientist was prevented from entering the United States this month because of an opinion he expressed about the Trump administration\u2019s policies on academic research, according to the French government.<\/p>\n

Philippe Baptiste, France\u2019s minister for higher education and research, described the move as worrying.<\/p>\n

\u201cFreedom of opinion, free research and academic freedom are values we will continue to proudly uphold,\u201d Mr. Baptiste said in a statement. \u201cI will defend the possibility for all French researchers to be faithful to them, in compliance with the law, wherever they may be in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Baptiste did not identify the scientist who was turned away but said that the academic was working for France\u2019s publicly funded National Center for Scientific Research and had been traveling to a conference near Houston when border officials stopped him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The U.S. authorities denied entry to the scientist and then deported him because his phone contained message exchanges with colleagues and friends in which he expressed his \u201cpersonal opinion\u201d on the Trump administration\u2019s science policies, Mr. Baptiste said.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear what led the border authorities to stop the scientist, why they examined the contents of his phone or what they found objectionable about the conversations.<\/p>\n
