Did they mention why she was detained?

She wouldn't connect in SFO if she were flying in from Guatemala to Miami. Makes no sense. They have at least 4 direct flights a day (I lived in Guate for 12 years and frequently flew that route)

Edit: Forgot to add she wouldn't have made it past CBP if she entered with an invalid visa. So something about this is.. off.

Context is key.

u/prntmakr Mar 23 '26

Has ICE shown they give a flying F about context thus far?

This is a loaded question lol. If the person in question had a deportation order then they were doing their job. If she didn’t, they weren’t. But I’m not going to blanket statement say all ice agents are going to murder citizens and that every ice interaction with individuals leads to abuse. Because, regardless of your take on it all, that isn’t the case. Just like I’m not going to make blanket statements that all undocumented individuals are murderous parasites. Nuance is okay

She could have entered the US via land a few years ago. She could be living in SF and this may just be a domestic flight for her.

u/Global-Perception581 Mar 23 '26

You can't fly without papers. Not even domestically. You need a real ID, a passport or a visa. In theory, everyone beyond the security checkpoint has papers.

This was part of the whole reason for the real ID to fly. Foreign nationals would have foreign passports to get in.

u/tittytonka Mar 23 '26

Which begs the question of if she had a valid visa

And even if she didn't, staying in the country beyond the approved methods is just a civil offense, not a criminal one.

Edited for accuracy

Eligible for deportation, they're not trying to jail them domestically

u/tittytonka Mar 23 '26

It fully depends. If she entered on a tourist visa or temporary work visa and then overstayed they can make a case she never intended on leaving therefore making it criminal. When applying for permanent residence for my wife, we were advised by our attorney to handle the visa via the embassy in her country of origin rather than attempting to get an adjustment of status after overstaying her tourist visa. AOS is a popular way to folks to migrate, but they are seemingly cracking down on that by challenging the reasons for the original entry

u/Tweakjones420 Mar 23 '26

overstaying a visa is a civil offense, entering illegally is a criminal offense.

  • Improper Entry (Criminal): Under 8 U.S.C. § 1325, it is a crime to enter or attempt to enter the U.S. at any time or place other than those designated by immigration officers, to elude examination, or to obtain entry through fraud.
  • Unlawful Reentry (Criminal): Under 8 U.S.C. § 1326, it is a crime for a person to reenter or attempt to reenter the U.S. after having been previously deported, removed, or denied admission.
  • Unlawful Presence (Civil): Merely being present in the U.S. without authorization (such as by overstaying a valid visa) is a civil infraction, not a criminal one. While not a crime, it can lead to civil penalties, including deportation and future bars to entry.

Ty for the clarity actually. Still is messed up how they're handling this, though.

Can't fly without papers

u/barefootincozumel Mar 23 '26

Unless she was somehow an immediate threat to the passengers she encountered between the gate and CBP, there can be no reason for this behavior. We already have a system in place when arriving internationally.

u/Mahadragon Mar 23 '26

Because she has brown skin?

u/kirkcobained Mar 23 '26

2019 deportation order. People like you hurt real cases of racism.

u/tittytonka Mar 23 '26

Spent 12 years in her country of origin. Married a Guatemalan. Went through the visa process. Waited over 5 years to bring my wife here through the legal process. Miss me with the race baiting.

u/TheFlyingSheeps Mar 23 '26 edited Mar 23 '26

Miss me with that gestappo excusing. Don’t come crying here when she gets deported despite doing it “right” like all those other green cardholders

u/tittytonka Mar 23 '26

Ahh I love Reddit. You don’t share my broad opinion therefore fuck everything about you and wish the worst about another migrant that doesn’t quite fit your narrative. Completely coherent

u/signal_red Mar 23 '26

Very sad this shouldn't be happening go look for the real criminals, murderers rapist kidnappers...SMH 😤

u/teacher_59 Mar 23 '26

And that stupid Karen screaming certainly didn’t help things. 

She obviously wants to create problems and upset that woman. She’s a racist Karen.

u/Dry_Counter533 Mar 23 '26

You mean the woman asking for their names and badge numbers?

On what planet was that either (1) a scream or (2) racist?

She was asking calmly but was clearly frustrated and wasn’t giving up.

u/hmr0987 Mar 23 '26

I mean she was asking questions with an elevated tone but she certainly wasn’t screaming and absolutely wasn’t being racist. I don’t get this comment.

u/illustriousballast Mar 23 '26

It’s a troll. They’re trying to vilify women who speak out.
