"No you can't come in turn around and walk back to Mexico" Vs arrest and detention for weeks.
Which one of the above two gives more profit for the private prison system. How much does ice get in kick backs?
People need to understand what constitutes work in the context of immigration.
We need to brace ourselves.
I cannot understand why anyone would consider visiting the USA at present if they treat foreigners with such disrespect.
“Every country or territory decides who can enter or exit through its borders. The Government of Canada cannot intervene on behalf of Canadian citizens with regard to the entry and exit requirements of another country”
Arresting foreign nationals at the border, rather than denying entry is a big deal.
This is family separation all over again. The cruelty is the point.
I mean it stopped making sense when the USA elected Elon Musk to dismantle democracy but yeah.
Exercise extreme caution with regards to the US border. Even if you’ve crossed 100 times. Especially if you are staying for a long period or for work. We aren’t allies.
Is it impossible to inquire into her wellbeing and help push forward the process to repatriate her?
Even picking up a phone sounds doable.
Trump may be brain dead but the staff certainly worked there before he took office.
No one should travel to US. Its not safe. We are not far from US taking hostages to pressure countries.
No?
You're good. This wasn't random.

Government has been contacted numerous times asking for this, no action.
I'm sure they're busy but...
Foreigners have no rights in the US of trump.
Arguably even before all of this chaos there should have been special advisories re: access to women’s reproductive healthcare after the SCOTU decision and of course guns, guns, guns …
Instead they've detained her with no charges. That's what they should be addressing.

Maybe anecdotal among the sheer mass of tourists. Yet, inhumane in my eyes.
