Maybe, but being detained for a couple hours is better than committing a felony, no?

  A couple of hours sounds like you don't have any knowledge of how these things go.

    As someone who immigrated to the US and has been detained in secondary inspection I can assure you I do have knowledge in this area.
    • LtWorf 2mo ago
      But you hadn't been at protests against the government before, right? So your situation was completely different.

        It seems like your desperation to make a point has caused you to goal pole shift a second time!
        • LtWorf 2mo ago
          It seems you hadn't read the article we were talking about and had no idea what the goal posts were to begin with? It happens, it's not my fault though.

            It sounds like you can’t grasp a discussion on another topic yet you insert yourself into it.

  It depends on how "native" you look perhaps, but you can be detained for more than a week and a half if the border authorities don't like you: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/20/us-citizen-jose-hermosillo-border-patrol https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/20/us-citizen-j... Of course they shouldn't do that to US citizens, but they also shouldn't be targetting protestors they have a personal gripe with.

    I mean the guy didn’t have proper documentation and admitted to illegally entering the US (not at a crossing I assume). It’s a completely different situation.
