Tracking the foreign nationals detained by ICE as tourists or U.S. residents

U.S. tourists and permanent residents from around the world have been arrested, detained and deported under the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

Why it matters: The recent high-profile detentions and deportations demonstrate an escalation in tactics from immigration officials, accused of targeting some for their political stances or involvement.

    Yep, check in on me this Sunday to see how my entry into to the US goes. I’m hopeful for success, but who knows. I land in JFK Saturday night. ✌️

    At least in Russia, they’re arrested/jailed and used for political leverage / prisoner exchanges. Trump’s regime just doing it to be cruel.

    I’m a UK based professional and I come to the US for a conference each year. I won’t be coming again.

    I dont want to have my phone searched at the border, I dont want to risk arbitrary arrest and detention without legal representation, and frankly I dont want to spend my money in the US anymore (its a week long conference and costs a couple of thousand pounds including conference fees, flights, hotel and expenses). I’m already trying to buy European because of trumps other behaviour, so not spending mony in going to theUS is an easy win too.

    Now multiply that out - even if its a small percentage overall there are lots of people who are no longer going to want to visit the US in the current climate. Expect a downturn in US tourism guvent the horror stories that are coming our of US ICE detention centres.

    The Trump administration is using deportation to crush freedom of speech of legal residents and tourists.
