Apparently she broke several rules and it’s bordering on fraud.
- She worked in LA on a TN that was revoked
- She applied for a TN visa at the Canadian border and was denied
- She then flew to Mexico to try again at the San Diego border (USCBP can see this and explicitly say not to “crossing shop”)
- Her new TN was sponsored by a company she owns for another drinks company she also owns (you can’t self-sponsor a TN visa)
- The company she was consulting for was making THC drinks which are still illegal under USA federal law
My guess is she was questioned and determined to be committing immigration fraud and was detained until she could be deported
- AlecSchueler 2y agoSo deny her entry and let her airline deal with returning her? Why did she need to be imprisoned? International Law says that if you're denied entry the onus is on your flight carrier to return you, which is a private matter between you and the carrier.
- lazerpants 2y agoShe was at the land border crossing between Tijuana and San Diego. Still not an excuse for her uncontested deportation to take two weeks though.
- refurb 2y agoShe crossed the land border - there is no airline.
- AlecSchueler 2y agoAh, even easier then, just tell her to turn around.
- refurb 2y agoUSCBP can't deport someone to a country they aren't a citizen of. Mexico doesn't want that problem dumped on them.

- refurb 2y agoThey are in custody of the USCBP for being in the country illegally and are awaiting final disposition.
- account42 2y agoDenying entry is for honest mistakes. If someone is actively committing fraud you need to up the consequences in order to effectively deter others from trying their luck.
- AlecSchueler 2y agoIf she was suspected of fraud then inform, arrest her and make plans for this suspicion to be tested by trial, no? As I understand it she was "detained" rather than arrested, told outright that she had not committed a criminal offence, and was offered no further insight into her situation or when/where/how she would be released.
