A 28 year old Welsh woman was detained for 19 days and deported in chains after she accidentally overstayed her work visa. That is the context of the UK travel advisory warning.

@SunshineGirl The news reports said that she wanted to go to Canada, and Canada wouldn't let her in because she didn't have the required papers. When she then tried to go back to the U.S. she was detained and told to go home. She apparently couldn't arrange that so ICE arranged it.
It's curious that other countries have strict border policies and strict enforcement, but when the U.S. does a fraction of what happens elsewhere, we're draconian. It's also curious that non of the Trump-hating media said anything about chains. People make stuff up.

@joe438 She was detained for 19 days without trial and sent back on a plane in chains . . that làst detail was supplied by her father. Obviously she could not make her own arrangements to return home while she was in prison with no legal representation.
This is not a story made up by a newspaper. These are independently verified facts that have formed the basis of the UK Foreign Office to issue advice to its citizens that the USA is taking extreme measures to enforce immigration policy.

@SunshineGirl There’s still a lot of untold details. Snopes (not a friend of the government) can’t confirm some of the father’s story. What we know is that immigration wouldn’t let her back in after the Canadians wouldn’t let her cross either.
See what Snopes says. https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/03/10/becky-burke-detained-by-ice/

@joe438 There's a lot of untold details because she was denied judicial process.

@SunshineGirl and possibly because it’s a recent, ongoing investigation. They don’t share facts during an investigation. If they denied her any access to talking with anybody, I CE will be in a lot of trouble and will find out.
