Turns out that, if you piss off SXSW, they may have you deported.https://twitter.com/felixixix666/status/837386706512986112 …

Say you enter on a visa from Mexico to perform at SXSW. Say you book a side gig in Austin. SXSW is warning you they'll have you deported.
Does this also apply to panelists? If you're undocumented and say something SXSW doesn't like, will they call ICE and have you deported?
Threatening to call ICE on artists on a tourist visa is unacceptable. It's colluding with an administration that's hunting down immigrants.
Sorry, @austintexasgov, but you can't be a sanctuary city when @sxsw is threatening artists with deportation.
I'm happy @AustinChronicle is covering's @sxsw ICE threats. However, Roland Swenson's quotes need to be checked:http://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/music/2017-03-02/sxsw-performance-contract-sparks-controversy/ …
You don't "sort of sponsor" someone, @sxsw. You specifically referenced people on visa waivers. They HAVE no sponsor.pic.twitter.com/QYxUQf9FJH
Even when trying to clarify, @sxsw says if you get in a fight, they'll have you deported. smdh.pic.twitter.com/mzXgdlPgGW
And, if you break @sxsw's broad pyrotechnics rule, they might call ICE. Sorry but you might be deported for holding a sparkler.pic.twitter.com/y36xWMuzcE
.@sxsw site doesn't say "we'll call ICE if you murder someone." It says you'll get deported for playing a side gig: http://support.sxsw.com/hc/en-us/articles/206421765-I-am-an-artist-located-outside-of-the-USA-What-do-I-need-to-know-about-showcasing- …
damn
Has been taken out of context. Was not written for undocumented. Was written since @SXSW sponsors a lot of int'l artist visas
every artist should be bailing on sxsw
Damn! That's messed up!
