    She is not an innocent victim. She is not telling the whole story. She was denied access and tried to get in by going to another country. She should have gone back to the original border crossing or to the US embassy to get things straightened out instead of flying to Mexico and trying from there.

    She was treated badly but she was treated no more badly than anyone else who FsA and FsO with the CBP and DHS.

      She is not the only person documented in the story. The others don’t matter because they’re not the right nationality for you? It is well documented that not all the people swept up in these deportation camps are guilt of any crime.
