  • «You have no right to be here»: A Swiss woman's harrowing tale of arrest and detention at the US border

    Jump

  • As noted in the article, she had been making a multitude of trips to NYC to meet with her clients all while on a tourist visa. That is a textbook visa violation and the same treatment would have happened under Biden.

  • «You have no right to be here»: A Swiss woman's harrowing tale of arrest and detention at the US border

    Jump

  • Your quoted text clearly states she was meeting clients. That's not allowed on a tourist visa (same rule applies in Switzerland). She was then told she could not enter the country and had to turn around -- she refused and was put in detention (same rule applies to anyone visiting Switzerland). Other reports note that she was doing her online courses from NYC.

  • «You have no right to be here»: A Swiss woman's harrowing tale of arrest and detention at the US border

    Jump

  • This is a non-story. She was doing consulting work in the US without getting the required work permit. She lied about it, and was also given the choice of returning back to Switzerland (which she declined) and that's how she ended up in detention.

  • California backs down to Trump admin, won’t force ISPs to offer $15 broadband

    Jump

  • Travelers to the U.S. must pay a new $250 'visa integrity fee'

    Jump

  • The way things are going, US will enact an optional $1000 "anti-deportation" Visa fee for tourists that want added safeguards against kidnapping.

  • Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket

    Jump

  • But what if I'm searching flights through a search tool like Kayak? I'm not logged in for that, and possibly using a VPN.

  • Texas camp leader waited over an hour after flood warning to evacuate

    Jump

  • The camp already got the cell phone alert. What possible difference would the siren make?

  • The Texas way: why the most disaster-prone US state is so allergic to preparing for disasters

    Jump

  • The siren system was shut down because the technology was unreliable and giving out way too many false alarms -- to the point where the residents were just ignoring it. It is a difficult problem because you need to give enough possible advance warning to evacuate, but not so much that they start tuning it out altogether. Even modern first-world countries struggle with this.

  • The Texas way: why the most disaster-prone US state is so allergic to preparing for disasters

    Jump

  • Texas can spend all the money in the world on disaster preparedness, but it won't matter if Camp Staff has their cell phones and weather radios switched off.

  • Washington Department of Licensing gives ICE and other DHS agencies access to private driver's license and vehicle information

    Jump

  • "They don't have my address. I falsified my renewal. I put down 1060 West Addison."

  • Federal judge orders ICE to halt immigration raids in Southern California

    Jump

  • Agents are granted by federal law the ability to stop and question people within 100 miles (161 kilometers) of the border

    They can, but nobody is required to answer any questions they ask.

  • AI cannot replace humans spiteful spirit

    Jump

  • It is spite coding though.

    He probably has a bunch of gotos too.

  • Trump administration sues California, arguing animal cruelty laws cause high egg prices

    Jump

  • Did California even get affected by high egg prices? During the worst of the bird flu, egg prices at my Bay Area supermarket were quite stable -- probably because of those stricter state requirements.

  • FTC’s click-to-cancel rule has been struck down by federal judges.

    Jump

  • They just have to follow the correct procedures

    Funny how courts only apply this requirement to agencies when run under Democrats. Meanwhile, RFK is ignoring all basic procedures to stop vaccines, etc...

  • [image] The Mayor of Calgary, Canada, just received this warning letter about constructing bike lanes

    Jump

  • Dreeshen (author of the letter) previously worked on the Trump campaign, though lately he seems not to want to talk about that....

  • US immigration budget now bigger than most of the world's militaries

    Jump

  • The Federal budget is passed annually, and all spending bills must originate in the House.

  • The Trump budget proposes $0 for climate research in 2026

    Jump

  • Biden's "green" Infrastructure Plan is increasing carbon emissions though.
