German tourist held indefinitely in San Diego area immigrant detention facility

Brown or Asian people happening to them weekly: 😴 🙄

One white person happening to them: 🫨 😡

As the saying goes, Fascism is colonialism turned inwards. We've been doing this for decades now, it's only scary because it's happening to milquetoast white people.

Maybe this gets people to wake up a little more about the situation we're in.

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.

I am honestly completely revolted

Want to cut costs on medical? Hire someone not legally allowed to practice medicine elsewhere. U.S. loopholes can get pretty horrendous.

Wtf

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.

Right. It’s big caveat to the law, and allows the government to violate people’s rights all the time.

Not saying I agree with it, but I had to put it in there to be honest about what I was saying. Thanks for providing context!

We don’t arrest and detain people for what they might do(excluding threats to national security). Well at least on paper.


The "excluding threats to national security" can be very flexible when you purposely do not define national security.

Yeah, but she didn’t violate it yet. We don’t arrest and detain people for what they _might_ do(excluding threats to national security). Well at least on paper.

I agree that the tattoo work is still work, and I’m not implying you think she was rightfully detained. But if you are, she wasn’t. If you’re not, then this comment is to add context.

Work doesn't stop being work because it's artistic.

If you violate your visa you can get deported, that's pretty normal globally and does involve an arrest. It's only exceptional because of the inhumane conditions of detention facilities in the US and because she was arrested immediately instead of being denied entry or educated on the restrictions of the visa. If she presumably told CBP she was intending to violate the visa waiver she probably thought it was acceptable for some reason.

"Why yes customs agent, I am intending to perform work in exchange for money while in the US on a tourism entry permit" -Privileged and naive white tourist used to the Schengen area about to dive face first into a poisoned spike pit that was meant to catch brown people

The problem is the spike pit, not really the person diving into it making headlines because they happen to be a white woman.

Hey, on the bright side she has an opportunity to make a sone money. Either through a potential lawsuit (doubt.) or the smarter option: oil on canvas artwork of her experience in the detention center. Her story is global now and the notoriety may boost the sale price.

God forbid she create some art while she's here. The world would stop.

If they weren't detained and roaming around through the country instead, they'd even spend money.

Make it make sense.

Things have been like that way before Trump. You only see, sporadically, headlines like that, when Europeans are affected. Oh well

Not one precious white person!!! \s

"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

>CBP agents at the border accused Brösche of planning to violate the terms of the visa waiver program by intending to work as a tattoo artist during her trip to LA

Oh wow, a visiting *artist* might come do some *art*, fucking arrest her!

Jesus fucking christ the sociopathic cowards running these ABC agencies are dumber than shit

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
