The article presents a personal account of a Canadian who successfully obtained a trade Nafta work visa to work in the U.S. However, upon returning from Canada, the author faced unexpected detainment by ICE. Despite a previously approved visa, a border officer questioned their visa history and revoked their permit, claiming it had not been processed correctly. This experience emphasizes the unpredictability and challenges associated with immigration, even for those with legitimate documentation and no criminal record.
