> 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".

I am a dual-nation Canadian, with the other nationality held in much lower regard by the USA administration, meaning American conduct toward much of the world is not news to me.

I believe a lot of resentment Canadians currently feel towards Americans boils down to being treated the way they treat any other undesirable country.

The resentment is also because there is a daily threat of annexion.

Ironically, that would certainly solve this woman's visa problems.
