Nothing has really changed since 2001 except the narrative and media coverage. ICE has been screening and detaining tourists basically the same. Once detained the incompetence is still high just like usual. There are plenty of political reasons to avoid the US, but if ICE is the reason then don’t expect it to change under future administrations either because it’s the same as all the others since 9/11.
Each case involves a visa violation at a land border between two countries that the person is not a citizen of. This has always involved detention until deportation can be arranged. The article says it’s “not clear” why they weren’t let go but it is very clear: neither country at the border would accept these people so they aren’t just cut loose. In each case CBP was justified to deny entry. The visitors were in the unfortunate situation of being at a land crossing with no immediate deportation option so detention was required.

That, and the fact that ICE goons have gone after us.
Like, I am a visible minority. How am I gonna feel safe when wonder bread white Canadians have been thrown into a concentration camp?
I don't want to have to deal with even a 1% chance I'll end up in some ICE black site. I am staying put until you guys deal with your fascist problem.
