Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone’
Then they will have to travel the other way, which doesn’t have the risk of being detained illegally by ICE.
Or meet up in Canada, if they live close to Canada.
Refuse it.
At a very minimum there should be a huge risk compensation for traveling for work to USA right now.
6 weeks detained by ICE is no holiday, the conditions are horrible, and you will more likely than not be denied medical service if you need it.

They did state that one person had an expired visa in the article. Absolutely not defending anything ICE did to the traveling couple, but it was not just being randomly picked up and carried away like headline and summary suggests.
She absolutely had a VALID Visa, and the headline is correct. Just because her husband’s Visa had expired , doesn’t justify locking them both up for 6 weeks.
She was locked up with a valid Visa.
Also the story about the Koreans that were arrested, when they were there preparing workers to work on a factory Hyundai was making, creating thousands of jobs, show that you are in no way safe as a foreigner coming to work in USA. You are actually more vulnerable, as they may disregard that foreigners working there are actually there legally.
She did but her husband did not. Detaining her for traveling with him is nuts. Detaining him for that is also nuts but another story. The point being: there were “irregularities” involved. I am not saying it’s not insane but also not completely random.
Why would anyone in the tight state of mind travel to that shit hole?
A lot of people have relatives who live there.
That doesn’t mean they must go there. Better use the money for the ticket to get your relatives out before it’s too late.

It doesn’t? I think it does have that risk.
There has latelly been a lot of news of this one british lady who visited her father in Texas.
I will need to travel there for work next month 🥲

I am strongly considering that anyway…

It’s as random as arresting the next in line.
Refuse it, I did… I can attend meetings virtually and will be available via teams, but I am not traveling to the US.
Refuse it. And don’t forget: they will be reading this.
No, you need anorher job next month
