There's Rebecca Burke, a British tourist who was backpacking through the U.S. She tried to cross into Canada, the Seattle Times reports, but Canada rejected her because she planned to stay with a host family and do chores in exchange for food and lodging. Canadian authorities said she needed a work visa for that, not a tourist visa.
But when Burke tried to go back to the U.S., her father says she was handcuffed and taken to a detention center. ICE officials say she was detained for violating terms and conditions of her admission, but they didn't immediately provide more information about what that meant. Burke's father spoke with Sky News.

And the research firm Tourism Economics estimates over the course of this year, tourism will decline by 5 percent as a result of Trump's, quote, polarizing policies and rhetoric. That would have a significant economic impact, potentially billions of dollars lost at a time when the U.S. economy is already on shaky ground due to Trump's tariffs and escalating trade wars.

Let's stick with President Trump's crackdown on immigration and look at a specific law being cited in some deportation orders that hasn't been invoked since World War II.

The Alien Enemies Act is a wartime power most famously used in the internment of Japanese Americans, as well as Germans and Italians during World War II, and it gives the president and government broad powers.

The White House argues it didn't violate a court order because it's up to the president to decide who poses a significant risk to the United States and whether to expel them. The ACLU, in a challenge to Trump's actions, said the act shouldn't apply here since the U.S. is not at war with Venezuela. The timing of the flights could become a big issue.
