A little more detail in this story:

It would be good to know more details about why her original visa was revoked. I'd imagine getting a visa revoked is a lot different than getting one denied.
Did she fly straight from Canada to the Mexico for the specific purpose of entering at the Mexican border? That doesn't seem like a great idea, and would make her look pretty suspicious, especially with a revoked visa on her record. Was she spending some time in the US possibly working without a visa? |
I don't really understand how she would even get a TN visa. She is clearly not a professional accountant, engineer, scientist, etc. that this visa was designed for. When I had mine the immigration lawyers had about 5 things drafted and needed my professional designation paperwork.
Looking at her linkedin (no degrees) and based on the article she would not qualify which that, on top of the hemp ingredients in the business she was consulting for would be huge red flags. A self employed person cannot get a TN visa and you need your organization to sponsor you. Hence the letterhead etc.
Reading the article it sounds like she was self employed and working with another freelancer. Hence no company letterhead and likely no corporate sponsor.
Now, should she have been detained for a long period of time? Hell no. This is a clear overreaction from ICE. But I think its fearmongering to suggest this case is a reason for the general public traveling to the states to be worried.
