Shaw’s case is the latest in a growing list of foreigners facing interrogation, detainment and deportations at the US border, including a British tourist, three Germans Lucas Sielaff, Fabian Schmidt and Jessica Brösche, and a Canadian and an Australian who were each held and then deported, despite having valid work visas.
Ugh way to make it sound like there’ve only been a handful of people this has happened to. I think I read a report a few weeks back which said how many Canadians were being actively detained by the US at this time, and it was easily 50-something people.
It is OUTRAGEOUS that the US is detaining people without cause. Where is the international outrage as each country’s citizens are needlessly treated like criminals??
“It wasn’t until she tried to come back across the border that she realised only half of the combination card – because it’s only one physical card – had been fully approved,” said Besancon.
Border officials did not need to detain Shaw and could have filed for humanitarian parole, Besancon said. Meanwhile, all three of Shaw’s children have had their I-360 visas approved, and Besancon alleged her youngest son was therefore being detained “illegally”.
from what can be understood it’s such an awful mishap of the things, but they definitely didn’t need to go so harsh on her
You’re forgetting that the cruelty is the point.
It really is. They could have let her keep her phone, told her the paperwork wasn’t in order and asked her to find a flight out or return her to the last entry: canada.
There was zero need for anything else. So all that extra cost for what? The only logical answer is to be cruel.
Are you sure this article is not AI generated? I’m just not sure of anything anymore, this shit will change the truth and reality, especially in the future.
The Guardian isn’t exactly a fly by night news org, and if you were to just search “Sarah Shaw detained ICE” you would find news articles from many sources.
With the human rights violations by the Trump Administration, this is no surprise.
