I traveled to the US last week and was treated with respect. It looked like she was trying to game the system. She presented at a port of entry on the Canadian border with an expired visa and was denied entry. She then got a valid visa, flew to Mexico, and tried to cross at a port of entry there (as I now understand it.) I would have gone back to the original port of entry where I was denied entry and presented my now valid visa. The US way over reacted but they are a police state and that's what police states do.
She is not an innocent victim. She is not telling the whole story. She was denied access and tried to get in by going to another country. She should have gone back to the original border crossing or to the US embassy to get things straightened out instead of flying to Mexico and trying from there.
She was treated badly but she was treated no more badly than anyone else who FsA and FsO with the CBP and DHS.
That's quite a straw man.
