SXSW's immigration clauses are ‘not standard,’ lawyers say | PBS NewsHour
'But she echoed the sentiment that the idea that the festival would alert immigration authorities was extremely uncommon. '
'In a statement emailed to the PBS NewsHour, SXSW CEO and Co-Founder Roland Swenson said the clauses had been in the contract for years, and that the festival had never reported an international artists to immigration authorities. '
'Entertainment and immigration lawyers, however, say that doesn’t hold up. '
'Swenson also said the language was meant to protect both SXSW and performing artists. '
'She said there was no legal obligation for an event or organizer to report misbehaving, or even law-breaking, musicians to immigration authorities. “That is far beyond what they as a citizen or company would be obliged to do,” she said. '
