10. It's weird Canada rejected them and it reads that the husbands work visa had already expired.

I imagine this is a situation that they tried to get into Canada, were told no. They then had to clear US customs again which they couldn’t with an expired visa. I don’t think she should have been removed this way, but the husband effectively had no visa. They aren’t releasing people anymore with expired visas.

I guess the reasoning to remove them together was that they were married?
