The issue was never the deportation, it was her treatment during this process. I addressed the treatment part in my first comment on this article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43478428 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43478428 It’s understandable that enforcement measures must serve as a deterrent, and not just return the situation to what it should have been. But even if he severity of detention might be debatable in this case, the core issue here is the article’s misleading characterization. It seems like we both agree the law should be enforced. I have nothing in particular to share about how the law should be enforced. My point is that The Guardian is portraying this as some innocent 'mix-up' when in fact the person has been an adult for 10 years and can reasonably be expected to know that they can't work on a tourist visa, even if they're paid in kind and not in cash.
