Another Kiwi caught up in US immigration hell. Wonder what the full story is though, these articles never give the details.

man, friend's cousin got held for having an expired form. It's a mess.

mf said 'green card holder' like that means anything 💀 ICE don't care, they'll detain anyone with a pulse

cope harder. ICE stays winning

Bloody hell, hope she gets out soon. No one should be locked up for paperwork issues.

Ella Thompson2026-06-19T00:06:49.000Z

Wonder what she actually did? They don't just detain green card holders for no reason...

stuffed. It's a she, not some criminal. Show some respect.

Lawyer says 'could be released' - that's not 'will be'. Sus.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-19T01:12:49.000Z

terrifying. Imagine being stuck in a foreign detention cell 😢

Leo McKenzie2026-06-19T00:37:49.000Z

Typical, our government probably doing sweet FA to help. Useless.

Ella Thompson2026-06-19T01:11:49.000Z

point, but there's usually more to the story. We'll see.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-19T01:18:49.000Z

my thought. NZ govt won't lift a finger till it's on the news.
