There was a Welsh tourist in the US who was doing household chores to stay in people's houses, and she was being detained because she should be on a working visa, and wanted to leave but they wouldn't let her. She wasn't taken while trying to leave, she was prevented from doing so. Which I think is quite fucked up as well.

This is the first time I've heard of someone being taken while trying to leave the USA. How fucked up is that.

Unfortunately it's not without precedent.

Traveling while brown isn’t a crime as much as the fascists and bootlickers want it to be.

Yeah, I immediately understood who was detained, just had too look at the photo of the band.
