The blatant disregard or lack of training on the Jay treaty needs to be fixed. These people have the legal right to both travel and work freely. This is something that isn’t even up for debate.

Unfortunately, treaties and the like are only as good as the good faith effort to both enforce them and understand them.

It’s one of many cogs in the machine that are breaking down right now. We have lots of things to address in the current political climate, of course, but this is one more thing that we’re going to need to add to the list of cog mending…

ICE is even killing white American citizens in broad daylight while being recorded. You're right that they should be recognizing treaties, but we should also be recognizing the reality that that's something beyond America's grasp right now, and that no one, but especially "exception" cases who are visibly non-white, should be going to the US for their own safety.
