A similar story about Ice detaining a German tourist in California indefinitely. Jessica Brösche has spent more than a month in detention center after being denied entry at San Diego from Mexico.

The hypocrisy of everything under this administration boggles the mind. "You're here illegally! No, we won't let you leave!"

I have English relatives, my son-in-laws family, lovely people. They want to come visit again, but are concerned about the craziness of the current administration. When they visit, they spend plenty of money and have a great time. Does the GOP think tourists from other countries aren't paying attention?!?

Wanted to visit US for 2 weeks next year or one after with kids. Forget that, will reevaluate that decision in 4 years but not holding my breath about future development. Shame...

uh oh, must have insulted "critical thinking doge fans".

While I acknowledge my tongue in cheek quote is not on brand for HN, and the GOP has demonstrated a long term, 40-year strategy of embracing ancient middle eastern value systems to co-op US government, that does not mean the current crop of leaders are deep thinkers.
