Met my first Australian today who got yoinked by US immigration for no good reason. Chucked in a plexiglass cell for the crime of transiting via LAX from Canada. No reason given and allowed to carry on back to Melbourne. She said “never again”, rightly so.

The US can stop you at the border or anywhere, put you in immigration jail indefinitely, separate you from or deport your children & not tell you where they are. It says it won't follow legal orders. Australian consulates are powerless. Too dangerous for family holidays, sports, conferences etc.
