Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking of going to Trump’s America: don’t do it
Framing this as “she was employed” is ludicrous. Painting it as if she was dependent on it is ridiculous. Locking her up instead of sending her straight home is bonkers.
And if it had been employment, the correct law enforcement action would’ve been to arrest her host for trafficking/modern slavery/failing to pay minimum wage, not go after her, the victim.
