A retired British primary school teacher with a British passport and a valid visa was shackled, chained and detained for six weeks by ICE in the US while on holiday.

One of the most deeply disturbing things about this was the absolute uselessness of the UK foreign office.

What the fuck are people paying their taxes for, the wages of a giant institution for, if they can be ZERO HELP when a foreign country kidnaps them for 45 days?

Whoever needs to know this: Please do NOT travel to the US. It isn't safe.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is being run by an aggressive, paranoid, power hungry administration that has no respect for civil rights, law, or human life. The system has monetary incentives to arrest and incarcerate as many people as they can in the many concentration camps they're building. They don't care where or how they find the bodies.
