"Don't Go To America": UK Woman Detained By ICE For 6 Weeks Despite Valid US Visa
In total, Karen and her husband spent 45 days in detention before being abruptly released, receiving little explanation for the prolonged confinement.
A 65-year-old British woman says she and her husband were detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for 45 days while attempting to leave the United States at the end of their holiday. Karen Newton shared her experience with The Guardian, warning other international travellers to think carefully before visiting the US. What makes her case particularly striking, she said, is that she was carrying a valid British passport and tourist visa at the time of her detention. According to her account, she was effectively penalised because her husband's visa had expired, describing the situation as being treated “guilty by association.”
"Don't go—not with Trump in charge. It's totally out of control over there. There's no accountability. They don't seem to need a reason for detaining you," the British tourist warned.
I said the same thing to a friend of mine who lives in the Philippines who I recently have started a business venture with. This is another example of the price of racism. This county is losing trillions because of racism and yet watch how the MAGAS deny this.
