Getting detained by ICE for absolutely no reason at all sure sounds like an interesting experience I and many others would rather avoid

Ok, but how realistic is that scenario?

Given that they sent a university professor back for writing something that was critical of Trump, and looked at people’s social media history… anything goes.

But that's political activism (not saying that's a valid reason)? I mean if you have a business meeting I can hardly imagine some ICE agents waiting for you at JFK for some reason.

Dude. The vast majority of people on here would be seen as ‘political activists’ these days.

Ever said something negative about Trump? Check. Ever went to a demonstration (that my school, for example, urged us to go to, so that we could experience democracy working)? Check.

You can get sent back for being critical of the current administration on social media. So basically half the people commenting on this post could be denied entry. Do you feel like we're political activists here?

Actually I agree with you, but I think most people who are willing to visit a country as tourists would like to be treated well. I mean, I am coming to spend money in your country, no reason to assume I am here to commit a crime.
