    I read somewhere it was to do with her giving tattoos, or at least that was part of the accusation against her.

    I think you’re confusing this with other needless detentions. That one was at the Mexican border, and I think the woman was German. It’s difficult to keep track though.

      Three Germans. Mentioned in the article. One over a month in a detention center with 8 days of solitary confinement.

      You might be right, I remember the tattoo one being a girl who was turned away at another border before being detained by the US on her way back. If that happened in Mexico as well it’s easy to see why the two could get confused.

      Like I say though the fucked up part is the lengthy detention. That doesn’t benefit anyone except the private prisons, at the expense of American taxpayers.
