Sarah Shaw’s detention is among the latest examples of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, which, despite pledges to focus on violent criminals, has also swept up lawful residents like Shaw. cnn.it/4mmBl6R

It is Trump donors who own the detention centers. Detaining anyone for any reason is their business model. Every detainee is cash in the bank for these evil pricks.

No. I don't think we differ there. With the military being deployed to Washington DC, and now subsequently three Republican governors deciding to send thousands of national guard troops, it is beginning to look like civil war is inevitable.

She probably should have renewed her travel permit though. "When it came time to renew both parts of the combo card, Shaw paid to have the work permit renewed, but didn’t renew the travel permit “because she didn’t have any plans for travel at that time and it’s expensive,” Thorward said."

So she and her 6-year-old deserved to be held in a Texas prison for 3 weeks because of that? CBP could have had her pay the fee at the border. They knew she had legal status to work in the US and had a job. This was a massive overreaction. How much did this cost taxpayers?

No I'm not saying that. My wife has a green card and has traveled to Japan and back with our young daughter during this regime, so she triple checks that everything is good before leaving the house. But yeah, no need to detain them, unless there is more to this story...
