This is the story of a Telugu tourist who was arrested and imprisoned in the USA. She was a doctor visiting her relatives when an unfortunate incident led to legal trouble. Her neighbors, who had a child, asked her to take care of the child briefly. Typically, parents in the USA leave their children at licensed daycare centers, spending around $1,000 per month. However, due to a racial bias incident at a daycare, the parents preferred to have someone they trusted look after their child at home.
Unfortunately, while under her care, the child swallowed something, which the doctor noticed. She attempted to remove the object from the child’s throat, but her efforts were unsuccessful. Panicking, she called the parents, who rushed to the scene. Only then did they dial 911. When the ambulance arrived, the child was taken to the hospital and fortunately survived.
However, since the neighbor who was a doctor was not authorized to provide medical care in the USA, she was held accountable under the legal system. Instead of calling 911 first, she attempted first aid, which was considered a crime. She was handcuffed, taken to court, and sentenced to 14 years in prison for what was perceived as medical negligence. She is now incarcerated, serving time for what was ultimately an act of goodwill.
Another distressing case involved an elderly Indian tourist who was visiting the USA to stay with his son’s family for a few days. One morning, while on a walk, he stood at a house’s porch to rest. A neighbor reported him as a suspicious individual. The police arrived, and upon seeing him struggle with the language, they gave instructions that he could not understand. As he attempted to walk away, the officers, following protocol, tried to handcuff him. During the struggle, he fell and suffered a partial paralysis due to shock. The incident raised concerns about how tourists are treated under such circumstances.
Additionally, non-immigrant student visa holders working part-time in the USA are facing increased scrutiny by ICE. Reports have surfaced that some parents who visit their children on tourist visas are working informally at restaurants, cutting vegetables, and performing other tasks for a small payment, sometimes acting as a financial support system for their children. This practice, previously overlooked, is now under strict investigation, and those caught could face serious legal consequences.
The underlying issue is that not only undocumented immigrants but also legal visa holders—such as international students—are facing difficulties. Students on visas are struggling with restrictions, including limits on off-campus work. These challenges highlight the growing concerns surrounding immigration laws in the USA and their impact on various communities.
