‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks
she knew that international travellers were being locked up in immigration detention centres in the US. “I was aware,” she nods. “But I never thought it would have any impact on my holiday.”

I paid extra to avoid a connection in an US airport
God plan. Anyone who is still thinking a US connection is a safe idea is a fucking idiot.
They had the concepts of developments on their cases.
Not in my county of interest for many years.
If you come here stay to blue states, otherwise the risk is too great.
For now my EU UK friends, stay away.
Isn't it the other way round: ICE pruposely bullys blue states (Among other reasons, because the red states need illegal immigrants as laborers) ?
That's their goal. You can either believe the shit you just said or know that blue states are where the push back is.
Blue states will be there for all.
Liberty
Democracy
Accountability
Justice
Edit
Also HELLO NOBODY IN A RED STATE IS QUESTIONING ANYONE BEING TAKEN OR SAYING THIS IS CONSTITUTIONALLY WRONG! YOU JUST DISAPPEAR.
I'm in favor of your position but this
is just rude and that way, you won't generate support for your position among people who don't already agree with you. I think that's counterproductive, because cooperation is the most effective weapon you have against a repressive state.
I asked a simple question to understand the situation and you start insulting me.
Not really. The blue states just get more press because they have more protesters clashing with ICE. They're operating in red states too, just more quietly. It's not safe anywhere in the US at the moment.
The blue states aren't safe either.
Most of the people ICE murdered were in a state so blue it didn't vote for Reagan.
The problem is that if you're traveling here you're likely to be grabbed at customs as you're either entering or leaving the country so whether your final destination is a blue or red state is kind of irrelevant. While the current regime is in power it's safest for everyone to just avoid traveling to the US.
According to Wikipedia, Minnesota's current senators are both Democrat, and Minneapolis' mayor is Democrat-aligned. So yeah, not even the blue states.
Risk high all US
But people willing to advocate and fight for you , you've never met, blue states.
Like minnesota? You are a silly american chuckles "you are in danger"
I've got more guns than you I know that as fact and more bullets than anything else you've ever eaten.
Did you see that video demonstration of the drone strike from the 1990s? Your guns are as effective as taking your shoes off before you board a plane makes everyone safer. Good thing they didn't have guns at ruby ridge or waco texas... you're the guy who spends 5 years of time prepping to extend his life an extra 6 months eating canned food and being bored because spotify doesn't work and you cant get the joe rogan podcast. You better wake up from fantasy dreamland son.
Lol Joe rogan, you assume WAY too much.
And know very little.
I know your grindr account wont work I reckon that will make you sad tough guy.
They will disarm you before they execute you on the street, like they did to Pretti.
You need comrades, not just guns.
