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.
Don’t travel to the US. As a foreigner it’s literally like traveling into an authoritarian regime. When filing for the visa they ask for all your socials, opinions, etc. Some immigration officers will go through your phone on arrival. It’s grim.
If every year we ripped the richest person on earth into pieces like a piñata and spread their wealth around, do you think they would still pursue enough excess money to break our global economy?
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.
In Norwegian, live in Denmark and work for a Danish company, who also operates in the US. If my manager were to say, it ask, if I can go to the US office for work, I’ll say no unless I get a really fucking good life insurance while I’m there. I don’t want to go to the US for whatever reason.

Just a point of order, we’re not selling machineguns in Wal Mart yet. I have no hope of stopping such a future though. The court case against the machinegun ban is already moving to the Supreme Court.

You do indeed need to pass the orange test. They hold a Florida Orange up and if you aren’t at least that shade of orange you have to abide by the law.
Lofving said the episode is particularly absurd because Brösche’s original return flight to Berlin was on Feb. 15 — nearly two weeks ago.
“Why are American taxpayers spending thousands of dollars detaining tourists who are perfectly willing to leave,” she said.
The average cost of detaining a noncitizen adult is $164 per day, according to an ICE memo. Based on that average, a month of detention costs taxpayers $4,900.
Fucking clownshow of an administration
If they weren’t detained and roaming around through the country instead, they’d even spend money.
Make it make sense.God forbid she create some art while she’s here. The world would stop.
“online sleuths tracked Brösche to the Otay Mesa Detention Center, which is a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility run by the private contractor Core Civic.”
Oh cool we’ve got private contractors running ICE detention facilities
Yeah, core civic is the largest private prison company in the U.S., headquartered in Nashville. I took a contract doing IT work there a few years back. I quit very quickly. I made it all of 2 days before I learned doctors with suspended licenses are allowed to keep practicing in prison systems.
Wtf
Want to cut costs on medical? Hire someone not legally allowed to practice medicine elsewhere. U.S. loopholes can get pretty horrendous.
I am honestly completely revolted
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.
