    I’ve done so many times, and in today’s political climate, if one is informed, it’s not a stretch that they will look for any excuse. Don’t be so naive.

      If by “today’s political climate,” you mean the sudden and illegal actions the president of the USA has ordered and USA’s ICE has carried out, then I don’t disagree with you. I wouldn’t have done what she did. But I also don’t blame her for being detained. We have to admit that this is lunacy! And I’m glad that she has been vocal, so people can understand that this isn’t just a crackdown on illegal crossings.

          Yes I definitely agree here. I appreciate you taking the time. I don’t disagree with her denial, it’s the detention that drives me nuts.

          I think that the issue was that she was at a land border crossing. They couldn’t just put her on a plane and send her home. They put her into the system and it took them two weeks to deport her.
