    Yeah, this would happen under basically any administration. If you can’t travel legally, then just, don’t? I mean, pretty sure she didn’t need to go to Canada. Still sucks though. Edit: I missed the 3 weeks part. That’s really bad.

      No, most administrations would recognize she’s not a threat and would let her go home and make her attend a court date in the future to sort it out. Locking her up for weeks doesn’t protect anyone and it doesn’t solve anything. They’re doing it just to be cruel.

        Yeah, the several weeks is a lot. But this also seems to be directly caused by her knowingly not renewing her permit. Not saying it was right, but especially right now? Pretty forseeable imo. People have been locked up for significantly less. It sucks, she and her kid shouldn’t have been detained.

      Yeah, it’ll be kids in jail for a month and God knows what conditions that dilly facility is in.

      Traveling on a well expired visa is going to get you a hearing, and with all the other shenanigans they have going on that’s taking a lot longer than it should. Without any legal family in the States they’re either going to be detained with her or put in social services. I wonder if the grandparents could have managed to take them until it was sorted.

        The lesson for everyone to learn here is don’t go to america.
        I hope she has now learnt that lesson.
