    First of all, the British don't need a visa to come to America as tourists. Second of all, it says her husband overstayed his work visa as he didn't renew.

    Reporters these days seem to ignore truth and just write based on their ideology. Personally I'd like to see a "ratemyreporters" website similar to a "ratemyprofessors" style so we can quickly look up how much on the side of truth each reporter is actually on. Semi-fictional writers masquerading as news reporters is an epidemic.

    https://ground.news/ is a nice start.

      A US visa is typically for entering only. It doesnt say anything about the duration of stay. The latter is determined by CBP at the port of entrance and printed on your I-94. This is never emphasized anywhere.

      They require a visa OR a visa equivalent.

        To enter or transit through the US, you must have either an Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) OR a visa.

      The woman having a visa is common and doesn't negate the tale told.

        Except it does. The title should be "UK tourist traveling on husbands expired work visa detained by ICE..."

        But I get it, you are into outrage culture.

          Read again:

            The dream holiday ended abruptly on Friday 26 September, as Karen and Bill were trying to leave the US. When they crossed the border, Canadian officials told them they didn’t have the correct paperwork to bring the car with them. They were turned back to Montana on the American side – and to US border control officials. Bill’s US visa had expired; Karen’s had not.
          
          and

             Karen was incarcerated for a total of six weeks – even though she had been travelling with a valid visa.
          
          Not her husbands. Her tourist visa.

          If you have better sources for the events of this incident then by all means provide them.

      And these same publication have zero concerns for actual victims of illegals and are never reporting on the actual criminals arrested by ICE. Criminals typically wanted for rape and/or assault and sometimes murder too.

      There's an ICE page where they published 40 000 names / pictures / and for each person the crimes committed: that's more than 5% of the 600 000 arrested and deported already on that website.

      Here's what democrats keep ignoring and why Trump got elected:

      "42 percent of immigrants arrested by ICE under CAP from local incarceration have a criminal conviction."

      Criminals that dems would have happily released on US soil after their, typically light, sentences would have expired.

      But we'll get instead the cherry-picked old lady whose husband overstayed his VISA but who's probably neither a rapist nor a murdered.

      The same propagandist publications that will never write a word about Laken Riley or Iryna Zarutska (killed to the tune off "take that, white girl") shall happily post pictures of good people getting arrested by ICE.

      Here are some nice people anti-ICE people want to see freely roaming US cities:

      Very serious double standards at play.

        There is a principle in criminal law called Blackstone's Ratio:

        "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.”

        Does this fit into your conception of justice? Why or why not?

        > never reporting on the actual criminals arrested by ICE

        Because the numbers are so low.

        Still, don't despair, the shortfall is over inflated by Fox News and their ilk who make a major production out of the the few actual criminals deported (although they rarely report on the citizens who are arrested)

        Swings and arrows (as the saying doesn't go).

        Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows
