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

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

.@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- …
but it isn't a tourist visa. it is a work visa or a visa waiver.
regardless, it's fucked
If you get a waiver to play SXSW, you can only play SXSW. It's pretty typical stuff. http://support.sxsw.com/hc/en-us/articles/206423465-If-I-am-an-international-act-do-I-need-to-apply-for-a-visa-to-perform-at-SXSW-Music-Festival- …
so sxsw should collaborate with an anti-immigrant administration because of something that's ultimately harmless
I understand the current climate, but this has been law before Trump. I have seen this with US artists going elsewhere
