The Canadian woman who was detained in the US recently has written a really good account of her experiences. It sounds terrifying - being treated as subhuman, trapped in a bureaucratic nightmare, being passed from one place to another without any explanation or the ability to talk to someone about what's going on. This woman is lucky that she was Canadian, English speaking and white. I can't imagine what it must be like for the other much less fortunate people trapped in this situation for weeks/months. Shocking to see how callous some humans can be to others in the name of just doing their job.
