U.K. tourist Becky Burke finally returned home to Wales on Tuesday after spending 19 days in a U.S. ICE detention facility. Her parents relayed their daughter’s description of her release from ICE, saying how she was taken in “leg chains, waist chains and handcuffs,” which left her “traumatized.”

If I were an American travelling abroad, I’d be looking over my shoulder.
Fucking do better!! Or be out a job.
What was her crime?
Time for us to organize for OUR interests.
Or, maybe, re-task Penelope Keith.
Sending a message to anyone who might stand in their way.
Innocent or not, this is how we will treat you.
It’s absolutely disgusting
Poor woman
Don't go to the USA. Don't travel on an aircraft that might have to land in the USA in an emergency.
Monsters are in charge.

Thanks.
Sorry, my daughter went to Wales and was treated like, an actual living human. Thanks.
hateful,wrapped in self righteousness,under delusion that we are the "shining beacon to the world" is how I would describe my country at the present moment. Gives me no pleasure to say so.
You'd need your head examined to visit USA for next 4x years, best to just boycott it.

And I’m a white European capitalist with good money to spend.
Mainland Europe here we come!
(Pic is Mallory Square, Key West)
Not worth the risk.
My proximity to the border is also why I haven't slept well in weeks.
It's only been a couple of months...I dread to see where things stand in another.
The day Trump declared his interest in Greenland, I looked at the globe and saw Canada in the center and thought to myself that's next.
Feeling like a cat at a dog show.
One day.
This article just doesn't offer anything--did she overstay her visa? efuse to answer questions? was she being asked outlandish questions?
Stay away, it is not safe here. Trump is treating our friends and allies like enemies, and embracing enemies like Putin, and Orban.
"Coming soon to a suburb near you! Cozy quarters, with minimalist decor, shared gym, courtyard, and ultra-low HOA fees."
This is Otto Warnbier all over again
Bear in mind Europe had a thousand year head start.

Make it so!
Why tf would football teams play just for us audiences, complete waste of time
Starmer thinks we will not be hit by tariffs in April because he keeps kissing Trump's feet - trump just said there will be NO exemptions
Get rid of Trump, Musk, Vance, Thiel, Miller, etc and those morons and that culture will still exist.
Not even very subtle code any more either.
Trump basically gave people permission to be the trashiest, most garbage versions of themselves and millions, MAGA, very happily went along with that.
he is way more malicious than any idiot can be. Country should be ckicked out of Olympics for this.
Now we know who can be "dangerous dissident"
"safety precautions" is far more apt.
What happened to Becky was horrific and there was no reason for this.. sounds like she has a great lawsuit in the making.
You're not allowed to work even for free board or food on a tourist visa.... Even influences shouldn't do their influencing when they're in foreign countries on tourist visas you need a works visa
Not that this justifies their actions
Her Intentions were wrongful declarations
Look, I don't agree with what happened, I'm just saying why it happened
Then there’s the lost defence sales. And the economies of scale such a large industry created.
Scientists, doctors, engineers fill flee.
The US will decline to a rump of cave dwelling religious loons.
why are you upset by my choice of the word white? “Hideous racism” occurs everywhere.
Reminder there are more guns in America than people. By all means necessary,when ABUSE of Power is shown, it's then null & void.

JFC, these poor people need to sue the fuck out of this regime!
🤬🤬
It reserves the right to act like a cunt.

There are plenty of articles to choose.
To people around the world who used to be our friends, trump has found the most stupid, evil minded scum to carry out his and Putin’s Project 25. Stay away!
Krasnov is not welcome in the U.K.
was her human rights violated by ICE? No one from the U.K. should go to America.
By the way: Lufthansa (german carrier) flies daily from San Diego to Germany...
Visitors without that kind of backing, mostly POCs, are being held for months at a time.
The Canadian with the visa error, met a woman inside who had been there for 10 months.
PASS IT ON!!!✊🏼🇺🇸✊🏼
Instead we traumatized a citizen of an ally and created an International incident.
Trump is profiting off this somehow.
Rules for thee, but not for me
Stay away people ... not safe to visit the USA anymore.
Her treatment in custody was, absolutely, unnecessarily harsh but she wasn't "innocent"
Nothing could entice me to stay for a month there. Not even the $2000 a month I would receive.
We're in the middle of a coup.
We're not safe and you are not either.
This will not end without violence. The "good people" of America (=enablers, like the Germans back itd) are not the majority, but threshold 4 full blown facism takeover is like, 30%?
Now Americans “don’t know” this is happening.
History ! 🤯

This question (dying for freedom) might loom over parts of Europe in the not so distant future too.
This will end these exchange programs in the US.
Mooney and Burke would like a word!
Needs to be a Yellow Caution at least.

I am truly sorry.
