These are not good examples in my opinion. I don’t doubt there’s abuse of power but these examples, so far, are weak. Maybe I have less pity because the same thing happened to my European family member. It sucked and my family member had a hard time returning to their country after 30 years away but they broke the law. Meanwhile, Americans are forced to move heaven and earth to legally move abroad because of strict laws. You can’t have double standards.

What is new is that before, the US would simply deny entry. The detentions are unnecessary and over the top. That is what is spooking people.

This! Instead of saying "you're missing x,y,z... go home" they are tossing people in prison. Concrete floors, no blankets. Very little food, if it's even edible. No information on their own situation.
Read the account of the Canadian woman recently released. That is happening on US soil.

Then deny entrance at the border and she can stay in Mexico. Or book her a flight (at her expense) the next day. Why keep her in custody for two months? Why place her in solitary confinement for weeks? That's either incompetence or cruelty.

Exactly. If denied entry, the person is usually put on a plane back to their country. They’re not detained for 2 weeks (at taxpayer’s expense!)

Exactly. Why are we paying to house and torture people who could just get on a plane and go back home with their own money?

This is showing that Trump's border and immigration officials cannot be trusted.

If this keeps up and gets out in the news, it is going to destroy the US tourism industry and many other things.

There are lots of possibilities: drugs; questionable cash; other contraband; criminal record;

According to you, Melania and Elon should be stripped of their citizenship, disappeared for a few weeks and then off to an AI in El Salvador.

I’m the PP you are responding to and a Democrat so I wouldn’t mind that at all.

Don’t forget criticism of the Israeli government!

Sounds like a fabulous idea. Send Barron and all of Muskrat’s progeny, too. They would have never been citizens without their parent’s fraud.

One, ICE has quotas to meet. And, two, the government has contracts with private prison companies to hold these people - need to make sure they're getting their money's worth.

Where are the accounts of those people being detained? Even a criminal record - go home! Unless they have a warrant outstanding of course.

How much fentanyl have they found coming in from Canada?

Well, yeah. Trump doesn’t need the votes of those MAGA small business owners anymore. Shame they didn’t learn in business school that keeping 70% of $1 million is much better than than keeping 90% of $0.

IDK, but they found more contraband eggs coming from Mexico than fentanyl.

We have egg on our faces.

Oh, it's already out in the news. I would not advise any foreign nationals, visa or not, to come to the US right now. Heck, I'm nervous about the vacation I'm taking to Switzerland and Italy because I'm not sure if it will be difficult to re-enter the US.

Exactly. Imprisoning people rather than denying entry makes no sense. It's just cruel and unusual punishment if they are at a legal port of entry.
