Obligatory reminder that “no special treatment” means you get treated like a Haitian or Mexican or Muslim trying to enter the US. Yes, even a white Canadian.
In no way am i blaming the victim here, but we can learn a lesson from her experience: Don’t go.
It really is that simple. Treat it like the covid days. Do not go for your own safety unless it is absolutely required.
Don't think I saw it mentioned here but the lady seems to be ultra maple maga.

As someone not wanting to install Instagram, anything particular that stands out?
She follow almost every maga account you can think of. As soon as you follow her Instagram will start suggesting stuff like this
So this is a LAMF moment. Got it.
Anyone still going to the USA for anything other than life or survival threatening reasons is either a fool or a traitor.
Nope, this is the quotable quote:
“When I got to know everyone else in there, and heard all of their stories and how long they were in there, I was like, ‘OK, I’m not allowed to feel sorry for myself at all, because every single person in here is in a way worse situation than me,’” she said.
I stopped going to the US during Bush Jr. and I never started going again. I feel this was more than justified then and now is required.
Hope she gets a good lawyer
I would have PTSD after this ordeal … fuck the US and this bullshit. And I’m American.
