NZ has a exercise caution advisory for USA......
I personally have a "don't risk it" advisory; especially if you are anything other than white.
I'm white, and I'm terrified of trying to come back to the United states. I'm never leaving unless I'm not coming back.
The white thing doesn't really apply anymore. A white immigrant family have been targeted by ICE. NO ONE is safe.
We are all in this together
Totally agree, no one is safe. But some are less safe than others.
Other countries with updated warnings and asking people to double check paperwork, valid visa might not work, etc.: Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Ireland and China. And I probably missed several.
During the Floyd riots, a lot of countries warned their citizens of going to the states. I imagine that list has gotten MUCH larger since.
But this is New Zealand, 5 eyes partner New Zealand....you have to fuck up; pretty bad; to get us to look sideways at the USA.
to be fair though, that says it’s for increased risk of terrorism
they also list the detention and strict entry requirement stuff along with gun crime and violence etc (same as aus), but doesn’t look like the actual advisory is for that (although it really really should be)
