“We have seen too many stories of citizens being pulled out of airport lines, and being fingerprinted and deported, as if they were criminals. Citizens being kidnapped to illegal detention by ICE…this is not the actions of a Democratic nation,” said Charlie Angus, leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party.

German tourist Lucas Sielaff was detained for 16 days after returning from a trip to Mexico. “Nobody is safe there anymore to come to America as a tourist,” said Sielaff, who was on a 90-day U.S. tourist permit and engaged to an American citizen.

I have stuff set in motion for 4-6 months from now but I’m worried I’m going to have to bail early which would hose my finances…

      (Just a remark: These are travel advisories, not warnings. That’s to inform people on a different situation, but it doesn’t say that people shouldn’t travel to the U.S. I don’t want to downplay this, but it is important to note that it makes a difference.)
