>There were around 140 of us in our unit. Many women had lived and worked in the US legally for years but had overstayed their visas – often after reapplying and being denied. They had all been detained without warning.

Okay so, not legal then?

These articles are always like this. "omg I just overstayed a little bit!!! uwu"

Btw, I am European and will never hopefully have to visit the USA again.

> These women acknowledged that they shouldn’t have overstayed and took responsibility for their actions.

They took responsibility for their actions so they should't have been put there.

punishing ppl even after they take responsibility is not what ppl voted for.
