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.
So my point is that it doesn't really matter what she did. If an immigration officer thinks you did something wrong you could be in this system before you know what is even going on. And the system is a black hole.
