Despite being a dual citizen, the musician worried that he might be barred from reentering the U.S. following the conclusion of his upcoming European tour due to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/neil-young-tesla-lets-roll-again-1235330354\/\">vocal criticism<\/a> of the administration. <span>Young\u2019s wife, Daryl Hannah,<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/neil-young-citizenship-hindered-trump-daryl-hannah-1235319007\/\">\u00a0recently recalled\u00a0<\/a>the extent to which the first Trump administration allegedly attempted to \u201cmess him up\u201d during his citizenship intervie<\/span>w.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHis concern about touring is not far-fetched. The Trump administration has shown repeated noncompliance with court orders mandating due process for migrants, going so far as to deport U.S. citizens.
