The story about the Canadian woman who ended up in an ICE prison is detailed here. Sounds like having a US Visa is a liability now tourist, or work… and if you have any kind of trouble with it or do anything that might be perceived as troublesome, expect trouble at the border.
The best advice for people in this article: if you need to renew your visa, do it at an airport on Canadian soil so you can’t be sent to a US prison.
“She was told they'd have to send her back to Canada. But as Mooney sat searching for flights home on her phone she says that a man appeared and told her to come with him.
She knew something was way off when they pulled the shoelaces from her sneakers.
"Later I found out that's so you don't hang yourself in jail," said Mooney.”
