Ms Burke had planned to stay with a host family in Washington where she could carry out chores in return for accommodation after using a similar arrangement in New York. But when she told US immigration officials this at the border with Canada, they informed her she should have need to have been on a working visa and not a holiday visa.

Ms Burke previously told the BBC how she was being held in an immigration detention facility in Tacoma, which she described as prison-like.

'Totally lawless state': Conservative warns democracy in danger with Trump's latest antic

Sarah Longwell, publisher of the conservative outlet The Bulwark, claimed Monday on CNN's Inside Politics that the Trump administration's apparent refusal to comply with a federal judge's order was taking U.S. democracy down a dangerous path.

Longwell said Trump's strategy is to "pick the most unsympathetic people" to deport and Americans won't care that he's defying the law.

In fact, Vice President JD Vance wrote late Sunday that "there were violent criminals and rapists in our country" and "President Trump deported them."

"A lot of people are going to be like, 'I don't care about deporting gang members. These are bad people.' Now, we don't know exactly, we're not sure that they're gang members, we're just taking their word for it. But they do seem to be hitting the point now where they're trying to get by on a technicality...where they want to ignore what judges say. Which, once you get to that point, once you have a president who's just disregarding what judges say, you're in a totally lawless state."

U.S. officials acknowledged in a court filing Monday that many people sent to El Salvador do not have criminal records, though they insisted all are suspected gang members. “The lack of a criminal record does not indicate they pose a limited threat,” said a sworn declaration included in the filing, adding that along with their suspected gang membership “the lack of specific information about each individual actually highlights the risk they pose.”

On Feb. 3, Caraballo went to an ICE office in Dallas office for another mandatory check-in with the agents handling his asylum request. He had been coming regularly to the office for months. What gang member, his wife asked, would walk into a federal law enforcement office during a Trump administration crackdown that has left immigrants across the country terrified they would be deported?

“We followed the law like we were told to. We never missed any” meetings with authorities, said Sánchez, who remains in the U.S. trying to secure her husband’s release.
