US army veteran grabbed by ICE - Lilith7 - 18-07-2025
He was dragged from his car & sprayed with pepper spray & pinned down by ICE agents. He told them he's a citizen & an army veteran, but was still taken to a detention centre.
He wasn't allowed to shower or change clothes despite being covered in pepper spray. After 3 days he was released with no explanation.
Trump is making America a fascist country, a place best avoided.

The US tourism industry must be taking a big hit. Who in their right mind would risk visiting such a blatantly aggressive regime and potentially fall victim to their xenophobic actions?

I suspect you're right; loads of people will be extremely reluctant to go anywhere near the place.
