I was a TN holder once and had company lawyers prepare my TN dossier so that it was watertight so I was never refused.<p>A refusal should only result in applicant being turned back and asked to try again after having addressed the shortcomings. There is nothing illegal about that.<p>Unless she is being held for something else that the story is not telling us about, refusal is no grounds for detention.
Having incomplete paperwork is not a crime. Our tax dollars are paying for this insanity. It's immoral, and then for addded insult it's a giant waste of money. Prison is very expensive.
Why was she detained rather than denied entry?<p>If someone doesn't have the necessary paperwork to enter the US, don't let them cross the border. ICE needs to get DOGEd, they're wasting a bunch of tax payer money on providing room and board to illegal immigrants.
"I don’t know how someone in her position can be subject to this"<p>She broke the law, it doesn't matter whether she is attractive, affluent and Canadian.
