Another case of #Canadians being snatched by #ICE 😞 This time, a mother and her 7-yr-old daughter, both in the country legally.

How many more will have to be taken before #Carney stands up to the US?

7-year-old B.C. girl and her mother being held by U.S. immigration officials in Texas | CBC News

Family and friends are expressing fears for a Penticton, B.C., woman and her daughter who have been detained by U.S. authorities in Texas and are currently in an immigration holding facility. Tania Warner — a 47-year-old who family say is legally in the U.S. on a worker's visa — and Ayla Lucas were stopped at a U.S. border checkpoint on their way back from a baby shower.

@mindbat What’s Carney going to do? Ban people from traveling and living in the USA?

@Bowreality Ban? No, of course not.

But I'd like to see his government treat this like they would if, say, Russia were kidnapping and holding Canadians for no crime.

That is: travel advisories ("We strongly recommend Canadians avoid living in and traveling to the United States for the foreseeable future"), diplomatic pressure ("We've summoned the US ambassador to Canada to hear why the US government is abusing our citizens"), etc.

@mindbat Travel advisory is fair. That would give people an out when they are sent on business trips.
