> The agents that did this ought to be held accountable and fired. That is the exact problem the US has, nobody is ever penalized for these actions.

  Perhaps because instead of actually, you know, lodging a complaint, people just run to bad journalists who, instead of trying to get some kind of statement from the CBP, just parrot her statements without questioning any of it. This is a really sloppy journalism piece, and I'm surprised that no one's pointed out just how bad it is. This article is unresearched, anti-US junk.

        You say it's sloppy and unresearched. I'd like to hear why that is, based on something more than just your opinion.

    Here's some good journalism with the same outcome: "Is there a time limit on how long someone can be detained? Do people have to unlock their phones, if asked? Do agents have to inform you why you're being detained? And I didn't even approach them as like an angry citizen. I approached them as a journalist, who had very straightforward questions just about the process and the protocol. And what I discovered, doing that, is that the lack of transparency that I saw during our detainment just continued up and up and up the ranks, all the way to DC, where nobody was getting back to me about anything." http://www.onthemedia.org/story/my-detainment-story-or-how-i-learned-stop-feeling-safe-my-own-country-and-hate-border-patrol/transcript/ http://www.onthemedia.org/story/my-detainment-story-or-how-i...
