> 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.

Yet they chose to feature this white person from a white country.

This article reminds of beginning of ukraine war when US press was showing white ppl and saying "we need to stand with them because they are like us".

They told this woman’s story because she was the one who escaped.

The ones who are still being tortured aren’t available to be interviewed.
