No it doesn’t. Several European and Canadian tourists were detained by ICE for weeks rather than being immediately deported. These individuals were often held in detention centres, sometimes in inhumane or prison-like conditions.
Here are specific cases of tourists detained by ICE:
Rebecca Burke: A 28-year-old Welsh backpacker was held for 19 days in a Washington state ICE processing center. She was attempting to cross into Canada, but was sent back to the U.S. She described being shackled and wearing an orange jumpsuit.
Jessica Brösche: A German tourist was stopped at the San Diego border crossing and held for 45 days, including eight days in solitary confinement.
Lucas Sielaff: A German citizen was detained for 16 days in an immigration detention center after being accused of violating his 90-day U.S. tourist permit.
Fabian Schmidt: A German national was detained upon entering the U.S. from Luxembourg.
Jasmine Mooney: A Canadian actor was held for nearly two weeks in an ICE detention center after being stopped at the San Ysidro border crossing.
Sarah Shaw: A New Zealand tourist and her six-year-old son were detained for three weeks.
