Apparently this happened three weeks ago and the news is just coming out now. Winston Peters as usual has no idea what is happening and is too busy licking Trump’s boots to actually say or do anything.

From a different article:
ICE Detains Woman in Green Card Process and Son at Canadian Border — Newsweek
So she is in the U.S. legally under a work permit, is seeking citizenship legally after her husband abused her (having abandoned a prior attempt at a spousal green card), and was granted a travel visa by Canada, but was not authorized to travel by the U.S.
Does that change your interpretation of events or add any nuance to them?

Ah, you’re conflating her understanding of the situation after she realized there is an issue with her understanding of the situation before she realized there was an issue to justify callous comments devoid of empathy.
She’s got 3 kids and is a victim of domestic violence. Perhaps her choice to stay was rooted in some unfair custody arrangement that would see her losing one or more of her children. That’s conjecture. We may never know the details of her reasons. But we do know that you could have chosen to say nothing.

It might have to do with her moving.
What you deem as ‘emotional BS’ establishes that she’s got other things to focus on than the nuances of immigration law, and a pretty darn good reason to stay in the U.S., should custody be messy.
I just really don’t know what to say here. Best of luck in the world. I hope you figure it out.
People make mistakes, but yeah go off about a six-year-old being detained I guess.

The mistake was her own paperwork not being in order for her trip to and from Canada, something you acknowledged in your own comment, so I’m going to assume you’re just responding in bad faith.
What happened to her son is awful, trying to excuse it as “her responsibility” is disgusting.

Where are you from and why are you commenting here then? I’m not defending her, I just have a human amount of empathy and am placing the blame where it belongs.
Also not actually from NZ mate. I’m just here because I care about my cousins from across the ditch.

Why are you commenting here? Just to troll?
I vote far left actually. I just happen to have empathy for everyone caught up in the US regime. Which you pretty clearly don’t have. You could just as easily say that Central and South Americans chose to go to the US in search of a better life. However, that would obviously be fluffing psychotic.
Edit: Also this is news coverage in a New Zealand community, on a New Zealand site, by a New Zealand news service, because she’s a New Zealander. Her being white doesn’t have anything to do with it, and I imagine the coverage would be the same if she were, say, Maori. Don’t conflate a lack of American news coverage of child detention in America, with an entirely different country prioritising news about its own citizens.

She had the proper documents. Also she is not a South American. Also the kid is being detained.

Maybe it’s you who has problems making yourself clear.
