An NZ woman who lives and works in the US disappeared, leading to
fears among her friends that she had been kidnapped. Turns out that
was mostly correct: she had been arrested by ICE, along with her
six-year-old son, who put the both of them into a detention centre for illegal immigrants, having to share a cell with a bunch of other
people, and neglected to tell anybody where they were for over two
weeks <https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360788876/us-immigration-police-reportedly-detain-kiwi-mum-and-son>

This is not how a civilized country operates. This is how a
banana-republic police state operates. This is not the rule of law:
the USA is now a country ruled by thugs.

She has been released on some kind of bail and is back home in
Washington State, with an ankle monitor (without any court order for
same), and left unable to go to work. Her passport, driverAs licence
and ID have all been confiscated ><https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/sarah-shaw-opens-up-about-life-after-being-detained-by-us-immigration-with-son-6-remains-heavily-restricted/SKL72LMFSNCABFMTGXQBCRK7MY/>.
Guilty until proven innocent, much?

They are the ones who reported her detention. I suppose you are
questioning that, too?

Small detail, her visa had expired. Therefore she was illegally in the >country. Nevertheless the USA's response seems over the top. A few questions >as to why she had not renewed the visa along with a background check to see >that she was honest, along with a bit of common sense would have been win >win.
