Emails Reveal Top IRS Lawyer Warned Trump Firings Were a “Fraud” on The Courts

It's madness. They revoked her visa apparently for no more than "vibes" and treated her like a criminal. I wonder how much money they made from holding her for two weeks. Worth it to them I'm sure, whatever it does to the person they detain for no good reason.
And like she says, she's lucky compared to most of the other prisoners in there, who may be trapped in that labyrinth for months, without people on the outside with means and influence to help them.
