It's madness. They revoked her visa apparently for no more than "vibes" and treated her like a criminal. I wonder how much money they made from holding her for two weeks. Worth it to them I'm sure, whatever it does to the person they detain for no good reason.

And like she says, she's lucky compared to most of the other prisoners in there, who may be trapped in that labyrinth for months, without people on the outside with means and influence to help them.

This is beyond fucked up. At the same time, I won't ever comprehend how one can run through such systems and still claim:

> If someone is a criminal, I agree they should be taken off the streets.

As if someone who "is" a "criminal" has it any better. Nobody deserves to be treated that way.

Context: ICE operating on GEO Groups behalf to maximize profits by filling jails with literally anyone they can grab.

i wouldn't go there either, but I've lived there almost my entire life

I'm a US citizen, and even I am avoiding travel into the US.

My wife (non-American) and I were thinking about using the US as a layover point, since a flight we want to go on didn't have a direct route from Canada, but after what's happened, we're not doing that either.

The US is just too scary right now to risk it.
