Ok but what does US gov have to gain from just detaining random foreign civilians? I am geniuenly confused why this is happening.

Fascists want complete control, and it sends a message not to come here. They only want 'their kind', meaning white racist conservatives. Detaining is a power play. Just a reminder, this is the trump government, not the citizens. The majority of people are welcoming, only about 25% of Americans are complete and utter trash.

You say “only” but one in every four is a pretty significant amount of people who support jailing you just for being brown

Yeah, that’s a quarter of the population my dude. That’s not a good look. Why would anyone want to go to a place where 1 in every 4 people hate you?
