So send her home then. She’s obviously not trying to illegally live in the US so there was absolutely no reason to arrest her. The problem is they think it’s appropriate to arrest anyone they like and absolutely no one can stop them. I wouldn’t dare go to the US anymore even if I followed every single rule because they can just do whatever the hell they want to whoever the hell they want with absolute impunity.
Obeying the letter of the law is absolutely no guarantee they won’t decide to just screw you over because they get off on it.

There is some reason to arrest her. She had already been in the country for 3 weeks doing who knows what, so now that they suspect she was doing something wrong it’s worthwhile to investigate.
There’s even some justification for making the detention a miserable process, so as to deter others. It’s very shitty, and I don’t agree with it, but there is at least a rationality about it.
The real kicker is the length of the detention. This isn’t in the interests of America, this is only in the interests of the private prisons padding their bill to the American taxpayer. The whole process is shitty, but this last part proves that they are only serving their own interests.

Another POS bootlicker.
