British tourist detained

Why in the world would you at this point?

The BP/ICE/Customs want to do their jobs, unlike most agencies they are not political.....They are good folks. I've lived around many of them and met scores more.

This the kind of thing that authoritarian fascist dictatorships do – because Trump is in fact a fascist thug.

I know, fucking Canadian thugs.

She wasn't working.

Then why did Canada deny her entry?

Then why did Canada deny her entry?

What gets me is we had to suffer through her life's story to get to the point.....I bet the Hosers had too also.

I read as much as the Guardian paywall would allow and never got to the bottom line

Was she just selected at random cause Homeland Security are meanies?

Violated her visa....

Enen the Hosers don't like the British.

Fabian Schmidt and Lucas Sielaff Are other cases

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre​

Burke had arrived in the US during the Biden administration, only to become one of 32,809 people to be arrested by Ice during the first 50 days of Donald Trump’s presidency. Since February, several young foreign nationals have been incarcerated in Ice detention centres for seemingly little reason and held for weeks, including Germans Lucas Sielaff, Fabian Schmidt and Jessica Brösche. (Brösche, 26, spent more than a month in detention, including eight days in solitary confinement.) Unlike these other cases, Burke had been trying to leave the US, rather than enter it, when she was detained for nearly three weeks.

This is the kinda thing that is prompting other countries to advise against tourism and business travel to the US, potentially costing trillions in economic activity.

Celine Flad from Germany was also put into prison
