[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP do they have US passports if they are US citizens? That should help a lot.

One thing I am trying to do is memorize a few phone #s in case they take my phone. Have them memorized yours so they can call from wherever they are if needed.

Do you mean that it's scary because you feel anxious?  Because your evidence that "the times we are in" are scary for people who are rightfully in the U.S. is scant.[/quote]

There are multiple verified reports of British, German and French citizens spending weeks in detention for NO REASON, given they tried to enter the US with valid visas or visa waivers and were not on any terrorist or do not fly list. Neither ICE nor Border Control have given any excuse for their mistreatment. [/quote]

Please link verified reports...[/quote]

You are posting articles that contain incorrect information and misrepresent the facts. It's similar to watching QAnon on YouTube.

Let's start with the first one. British citizen who might have had a B1/B2 visa, business and pleasure and medical visa, or might have entered the U.S. on ESTA, was in the U.S. on false pretense. She was working and by all accounts living in the U.S. The family and her did not adhere to the U.S. labor laws, which is a criminal offense. The visa must match the purpose of her stay in the U.S. In this case, her presence was to work and be more of an au pair or a domestic worker. She broke the law and the family she was staying with broke the law. She exited the U.S. to Canada to game the system and return to the U.S. no doubt bcs she was at the limit of her 90-day stay, which is allowed on ESTA or tourist visa. She was returned to Canada, but Canadians refused to admit her and sent her back to the U.S. At this point, she needs her Embassy to help pay for the cost of traveling back to the U.S. She entered the U.S. illegally. She had no contract for her work, and she was not paid the minimum wage for her work. All are violations of the U.S. law. She is far from a tourist.

Your second case does not offer enough details, and seems to be vague on purpose. There are behaviors that will violate the LPR status and cause inadmissibility to the U.S. There is a hearing and no doubt we will know more when prosecution presents the facts. It is highly unlikely that CBP would detain any LPR holder for no reason. Countries share criminal information and something might have come to light. That is my guess and not any fact.

Your third article presents bunch of cases, and from the first look, it is easy to see that many have violated their status or are trying to enter the U.S. under false pretenses. Clearly pointing out that one visa was revoked. Please note, U.S. visa allows you to request entry into the U.S. from the CBP officers, it does not guarantee entry into the U.S. Entry into the U.S. is at the sole discretion of the CBP. Turkish "students" are notorious for violating their visas, and coming to the U.S. to work due to the economy in Turkey. Iranian student might have had a visa issued wrongly, and without the proper process. Iranians are notorious for changing status in the U.S. once they enter on F1 visa.

Your Lebanese example is associated with Hezbollah, shall we allow entry to people with close connections to Hezbollah?

Foreign students in the U.S. have no freedom of speech, that is not a thing, they are in violation of their purpose in the U.S. The visa is granted for studying, and that is the purpose of their stay in the U.S. now they are engaging in acts that are not in accordance with the terms of their visa, hence violating their status. They, and all those that stop studying and start working at Royal Farms will have their visas revoked and will be deported.
How about you start learning about what visas are for and what is a violation of a U.S. law?
Similar offenses were happening under every single administration, by thousands, yet media was not reporting it. 
I can't help but be stunned that you want a person with ties to Hezbollah to enter the U.S. That really takes the cake.[/quote]

I'm not reading your crap

Not surprised that you can’t read.[/quote]
