We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

Brösche, 26, never made it to LA. She’s been in federal immigration custody since Jan. 25 — the day they tried to cross into the United States through the San Ysidro Port of Entry.

Brösche had her German passport, confirmation of her visa waiver to enter the country, along with a copy of her return ticket back to Berlin, Lofving said. A U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent pulled Brösche aside for a secondary inspection.

She didn’t know it then, but it would be 25 days before Lofving would see her friend again. Brösche would spend that time in federal detention, where she remains, waiting for a deportation flight back to Berlin.

And this is just a story that made the news out of sheer luck. Imagine how many more innocent people are locked up or worse.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Not sheer luck, but because she's german. Germans haven't been mass migrating to America since the 60s at the latest and her detention is a change from the norm of us mostly only doing this to Latin Americans, Caribbean folks, Middle Easterners, and Africans

Imagine how many American citizens are sitting in these camps and will be deported to some other country as Trump tries to eliminate due process and rob them of their day in court.

CBP agents at the border accused Brösche of planning to violate the terms of the visa waiver program by intending to work as a tattoo artist during her trip to LA

Oh wow, a visiting artist might come do some art, fucking arrest her!

Jesus fucking christ the sociopathic cowards running these ABC agencies are dumber than shit

Hey, on the bright side she has an opportunity to make a sone money. Either through a potential lawsuit (doubt.) or the smarter option: oil on canvas artwork of her experience in the detention center. Her story is global now and the notoriety may boost the sale price.

Not one precious white person!!! \s

Everyone knows it's news and injustice if it happens to be a white person, otherwise it's normal border control measures to protect America and it's freedoms.

Things have been like that way before Trump. You only see, sporadically, headlines like that, when Europeans are affected. Oh well

Brown or Asian people happening to them weekly: 😴 🙄

One white person happening to them: 🫨 😡

As the saying goes, Fascism is colonialism turned inwards. We've been doing this for decades now, it's only scary because it's happening to milquetoast white people.

Maybe this gets people to wake up a little more about the situation we're in.

The very idea they didn't just turn her around proves how evil these fucks can be.
