    If you wanted to make America more secure, disband ICE and TSA completely and replace them with nothing.

    Smaller, more secure government.

      I get the point of needing some kind of security at the airport, and having a national agency provide said security makes more sense to me than requiring each airport to wing it. provides some consistency. that being said, i have plenty of complaints about the current way it’s implemented.

      Ahhh, what?

      Btw, CBP is not the same as the TSA. CBP is customs and border control. TSA keeps people from bringing bombs and guns on planes.

    So can he sue USA for being unjustly returned?
    It seems that should be an option. Sue USA through the embassy in Norway.
    That way the NHS will have to show probable cause, and if they can’t they have to pay compensation.

    IDK if Norway has, but here in Denmark we do have warnings about traveling to USA now!
    Some months ago this warning mostly regarded LGBT people, but here in June the warning has changed to regard everybody!!
    Simply don’t go to USA unless you have to!

    be aware of the risk of terror, shootings and natural disasters.

    Please note that you may be refused entry or be expelled from the United States if…

      Not only are there warnings: Around a month ago, a fund that has funded some students at top US universities quite literally evacuated several of the students they were funding.

      We’re talking about Norwegian students in the US getting a call telling them to “get your passport, and get on the first possible flight home, don’t worry, we’re paying.” This was just around when people with certain skin colours, political opinions, or sexual preferences started getting snatched off the streets.

      That’s when I realised how absolutely fucked shit has gotten over there. When Norwegian citizens on student visas were literally told to evacuate the country.

        I also recently read a story about a Dane, who was married to an American woman, and had several children, and had lived and worked in USA for years was expelled.
        IDK why he didn’t have the papers he needed, he should have known better. But people are naive, and he probably thought being married to an American was enough?
        But we actually have the same rule in Denmark now, being married to a Dane is no longer enough to be allowed to stay here. It used to be an automatic permit to stay, but not anymore. So he definitely should have known.

          If we are thinking of the same guy, he had a green card but forgot to file some obscure form at some point. And was detained at his naturalization hearing, aka when trying to become a citizen. He absolutely had the papers he needed, he had the permanent resident card, and there was never any communication about the missing form.

        So you are saying this is lawless territory?
        That does not sound acceptable.
        Obviously it would probably be the NHS that is sued, because that’s the arm of the American administration that did this.
        And since he was expelled, I believe the case should be allowed to run in Norway.

          Not having grounds to sue doesn’t mean lawless. That said the rules for detention can be just suspicion and that is pretty open ended.
