Yeah, so we're seeing a lot of cases. And it's tough, Ayesha, because the government in many cases is unwilling or unable to give us all the facts in the case. But what we're seeing is people with relatively minor visa issues. So let's say they're on a tourist visa and they're house-sitting for someone. Another example, someone who is a fiance of a U.S.

citizen coming in on a tourist visa and border officials saying, wait a second, that's illegal. You should be on a fiance visa. You know, in the past, border officials would say, OK, there's a problem with your visa. You need to fix it and come back to us. Now people are being sent to detention centers. They're being deported over these really minor violations. And it's scary for people.

The reasons that people are being detained for much longer, not entirely clear to me, but often if you are going to be deported, it's something as simple as you need to buy a plane ticket and the government doesn't just let you buy any plane ticket. You have to buy an open plane ticket, which means they can put you on any flight and those can run

you know, six, seven, eight thousand dollars, people don't often have that money. And so they're being detained longer so they can collect the money just to buy their plane ticket home.

Yeah. So they are pointing to President Trump's executive order that orders extreme vetting. And they're proud of this. They're saying, you know, we're enforcing the laws on the books and we're catching attempted terrorists coming into the country. We're catching people who are breaking our laws. You know, this is not something that they are not proud of. Right.

In our laws and in our precedent, we even as U.S. citizens have very few rights at the border. You and I were coming back into the country could have our phones searched online. And that's even more the case for people who are not U.S. citizens. It's totally legal for agents to search people's phones, to search people's social media accounts. They're using AI tools to find things on people.

So it's a much deeper level of searching than people are aware of. And I think people are being even more scrutinized than they were just a few years ago because of these really recent advances in AI technology.
