Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone’

she knew that international travellers were being locked up in immigration detention centres in the US. “I was aware,” she nods. “But I never thought it would have any impact on my holiday.”

    That’s their goal. You can either believe the shit you just said or know that blue states are where the push back is.

    Blue states will be there for all.

    Liberty

    Democracy

    Accountability

    Justice

    Edit

    Also HELLO NOBODY IN A RED STATE IS QUESTIONING ANYONE BEING TAKEN OR SAYING THIS IS CONSTITUTIONALLY WRONG! YOU JUST DISAPPEAR.

      I’m in favor of your position but this

      You can either believe the shit you just said

      is just rude and that way, you won’t generate support for your position among people who don’t already agree with you. I think that’s counterproductive, because cooperation is the most effective weapon you have against a repressive state.

      I asked a simple question to understand the situation and you start insulting me.
