>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.

> There was a girl from India who had overstayed her student visa for three days before heading back home. She then came back to the US on a new, valid visa to finish her master’s degree and was handed over to Ice due to the three days she had overstayed on her previous visa.

Do you seriously believe that because this student technically violated the law before rectifying her paperwork, that throwing her in an overcrowded detainment center is good practice?
