In this episode of “Your Best Shot Travel” Our sources take a deep dive into the growing concerns about traveling to the United States, primarily focusing on increased scrutiny and risks for international visitors. One source strongly advises against travel for tourists, nomads, and expats, citing the for-profit nature of the U.S. immigration detention system and instances of travelers being detained indefinitely over minor issues. Supporting this concern, a Condé Nast Traveler article reports that a growing number of countries, including Canada and several European nations, have issued travel advisories for the U.S., pointing to tightening border policies and executive orders impacting transgender travelers. The Canadian government's official travel advice confirms these worries, detailing that U.S. authorities strictly enforce entry requirements and may search electronic devices, while also noting specific risks like gun violence and the new requirement for Canadians to register for stays over thirty days. Collectively, these sources highlight a significant decline in international travel to the U.S. due to these heightened safety and security concerns.
