    I honestly can’t conceive of voluntarily traveling to the US if I lived elsewhere. Even if you have perfect knowledge of and adherence to the laws, there’s no guarantee ICE or CBP wouldn’t snatch you up and detain you for no good reason.

      As someone who lives in the US, I don’t even want to travel outside, unless I’m planning on not coming back.

        Same here. Who knows whether you’d be allowed back in unmolested, especially if you’ve ever said something against trump or pro Palestine.

      Yeah. I’ve been meaning to visit the US for a while, but after reading some of the horror stories that came out about ICE I’ll probably put that on hold for the next couple of years.

        I hope one day there will be a post-fascism America worth visiting. Hey, maybe it will be super cheap for you to visit since our economy will have collapsed!

      The laws have been written in such a way that lawyers have said that everything you do in the US is illegal.

      I can’t find the article, but it was referencing the newly passed Patriot Act, so that was 20 years ago
