The massive increase in violent immigration raids, detention and deportation underway in the US has put off many people from visiting the country.

The EU is planning to strike a deal with the US that would let the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies search European databases to identify people posing “a threat to US security,” according to a proposal published by the European Commission at the end of July.
