The Chronicle: ACLU Again Sues the Government Over a Foreign Scholar’s Exclusion From the U.S.
The American Civil Liberties Union sued the federal government on Tuesday to try to force it to allow a senior South African academic to enter the United States.
The scholar, Adam Habib, has been barred from entering since last fall, when he was detained at a New York airport and deported after arriving for a series of academic meetings. This past spring he applied for a new visa, in hope of attending the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in New York, in August, where he had been invited to speak on a presidential panel. U.S. consular authorities never responded to his request.
