I've been detained in Morocco (while they had issues in the territory they consider "their" south), they've been nothing but polite. I had to wait a night in a cell, but i wasn't chained, i was fed surprisingly good food and they did send me back as soon as possible (my insurance paid for it i think). The fact that tourists with Visa issues (mine was because of geopolitics and my father's place of birth rather than a bad visa) can and do stay more than a day in cells, with chains? I would expect that in Salvador or some SEA countries, not the US.

Absolutely and that's probably the average case. Now take the hundreds of thousands of other people that have run into issues, and take the 0.1% most extreme cases. This makes up essentially 100% of what you read in the media. For instance this case actually started when Canada refused entry to her for fear she was attempting to work illegally. [1] The led to a suspension of her "visa waiver" (I assume a visa on arrival scheme) and a subsequent detainment/investigation on the US side which also determined she was working illegally and thus subject to detention and deportation. To say it's an unusual case is an understatement, but all you will read about in the media is unusual cases.
