"stripped of their passports and their cellphones" gets me every time
that is very punitive, for an administrative violation
mass deportation means mass political graft

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b2782820.htmlUS is the only country facing tourism decline as Trump policies to cost $29 billion in visitor revenue: study
...
Amid the president’s immigration crackdown, travel bans and sweeping global tariffs, the U.S. is expected to be the only one out of 184 countries to see foreign visitor spending fall in 2025, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council.
The study suggests that the U.S. economy is on track to lose $12.5 billion in international spending this year alone – but the actual shortfall might be much greater.
Tourism Economics, a division of Oxford Economics, had originally forecast a nine percent increase in foreign travel earlier this year before revising its estimate to reflect “polarizing Trump Administration policies and rhetoric.”
Based on the research firm’s original projections, the U.S. economy was expected to gain $16.3 billion in revenue, according to an analysis by Forbes. Instead, the total deficit may be as high as $28.8 billion.

Finally, the racist pretext of using skin tint as a pretext for immigration detention gets challenged
https://www.latimes.com/california/s...ked-ice-agentsThe states argue that recent ICE raids have harmed both immigrants and citizens, diminished public safety and turned neighborhoods into “ghost towns.”
Federal officials have vigorously defended their actions as part of President Trump’s agenda to conduct mass deportations.
California and a coalition of 17 other states threw their support Monday behind a lawsuit challenging the cons utionality of recent federal immigration enforcement raids in Los Angeles, asking a federal court to issue a temporary restraining order against such operations while their legality is challenged.
The states’ action adds substantial heft to a lawsuit filed last week by advocacy groups and detained individuals, who accused the federal government of violating the rights of Los Angeles residents by sending masked immigration agents to detain people in certain L.A. neighborhoods based on little more than the color of their skin
Immigration detention is not supposed to be punitive

Leamsy Izquierdo, also known as Leamsy La Figura, a self-described Cuban urban artist, was arrested for a violent incident and has been at the detention center out in the Everglades since Friday.
"There is no water here to bathe," he told Telemundo 51, adding it's been four days since he showered.
He believes there are about 400 people inside the facility.
"They give you food only once a day, food that even has worms in it," Izquierdo said.
Detention center lights are always on, 24/7, he said, and the mosquitoes are "the size of elephants."
He said they are not allowed to go outside, and the tents are freezing.

Born on a US military base, the son of a US citizen father serving in the Army, Jermaine Thomas never considered he might not be American.
A month ago, he found himself shackled at the wrists and ankles and forced aboard a flight for Jamaica, his father’s birthplace and a country Thomas had never been to before.
“It’s too hard to put in words,” Thomas told CNN. “I just think to myself, this can’t really be happening.”
He is legally stateless, he told CNN. He is not a citizen of the US, although his father was a US citizen; Germany, where he was born at a US military hospital; Jamaica, his father’s homeland; or Kenya, where his mother was born.

revenge for John McCain
https://apnews.com/article/china-vis...18e6d1a113f49dCitizens of more than 70 countries can now visit China without a visa
WASHINGTON (AP) — Foreign tourists are trickling back to China after the country loosened its visa policy to unprecedented levels. Citizens from 74 countries can now enter China for up to 30 days without a visa, a big jump from previous regulations.
The government has been steadily expanding visa-free entry in a bid to boost tourism, the economy and its soft power. More than 20 million foreign visitors entered without a visa in 2024 — almost one-third of the total and more than double from the previous year, according to the National Immigration Administration.
...
In December 2023, China announced visa-free entry for citizens of France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia. Almost all of Europe has been added since then. Travelers from five Latin American countries and Uzbekistan became eligible last month, followed by four in the Middle East. The total will grow to 75 on July 16 with the addition of Azerbaijan.
About two-thirds of the countries have been granted visa-free entry on a one-year trial basis.
For Norwegian traveler Øystein Sporsheim, this means his family would no longer need to make two round-trip visits to the Chinese embassy in Oslo to apply for a tourist visa, a time-consuming and costly process with two children in tow. “They don’t very often open, so it was much harder” he said.
“The new visa policies are 100% beneficial to us,” said Jenny Zhao, a managing director of WildChina, which specializes in boutique and luxury routes for international travelers. She said business is up 50% compared with before the pandemic.
While the U.S. remains their largest source market, accounting for around 30% of their current business, European travelers now make up 15–20% of their clients, a sharp increase from less than 5% before 2019, according to Zhao. “We’re quite optimistic” Zhao said, “we hope these benefits will continue.”
