German tourist and her friend wants to make art on a holiday trip in the US, but Trump's goons decide she is probably there for illegal work and throw her in a detention facility, just like MAGA wants it.
I hope the German government helps this couple sue the US to kingdom come.

"Sign here giving up your rights and you're on a plane back to Australia in 6 hours."
Don't know what happens if you don't sign.

So the US no longer wants willing volunteers helping on farms. How long before countries recommend their citizens avoid the USA?

As long as the #TrumpRegime is in power, the USA should become as isolated as possible - concerning politics, defense, travelling, trade.
As a German, I always loved America. But at the moment: no love nomore.

I was detained for hours back in 2008 at a US border crossing, and I had a valid TN work visa. Didn't make any different.
The Homeland Security putz had decided he didn't like me taking an American job and drug it out until my employer and the client, both multinational conglomerates, got involved.

These people wanted to make her suffer, rot in prison, to know โwhoโs boss around hereโ.
No matter it cost the american taxpayer more because she missed her return flight.
They will always choose to hurt over reason. Thatโs why theyโre dangerous.

ยปThey found that of the 447 migrants detained in all four stations, 42% of them exceeded the 72-hour standard, with some being there for more than 20 days.ยซ

The purpose of the system is what it does. It would be nice if the media would finally stop getting stuck on this part.
