bloody hell, 70 days in ICE detention for what? overstaying a visa? hope she gets proper compensation
exactly, admin detention shouldn't be like prison. hope she sues
ffs this is a disgrace. another kiwi woman treated like garbage by US immigration. warn everyone to never go there
maybe don't overstay your visa then? play stupid games win stupid prizes
get stuffed mate, you don't know her story. rules shouldn't be barbaric
this poor woman. sounds horrific. glad she's back safe but the trauma doesn't just disappear 💔

show some compassion. she's human too
say that when it's your mum in a cage. easy to judge from here
mate, the US system is broken. treat people like criminals for admin stuff. NZ needs to step up consular support
yeah nah get stuffed. she broke the rules. just cos she's pretty they make a sob story outta it
reading this at lunch break and it's just so unfair. detention is not the answer for a visa overstay
lol okay but laws exist for a reason. still sucks though
interesting piece. always two sides but the system definitely needs reform. hope she finds peace
