Summary
Welsh tourist Becky Burke was detained for 19 days in a US immigration facility and transported in chains like “Hannibal Lecter” after alleged visa violations.
Burke had been backpacking and staying with host families in exchange for help around the house, which authorities suspected breached her tourist visa conditions.
Deported on March 18, she described the ordeal as traumatizing. Her parents criticized the harsh treatment and are considering addressing the issue politically.
Doesn’t help that we have 3 identical political parties and then 1 party willing to join the trump train.
As much as I hate voting conservative this election I’m quite fed up with the liberals that represent us, it’s shameful watching our political leaders.
