She was denied habeas corpus, we have an example now when people ask about it

Any way I can directly contact this woman and apologize on behalf of our pathetic country?

I adore Iceland and hope to some day visit there. I can't believe what I just read.

That's insane. Here I thought America was a free country. We really have become a police state.

Someone should do a digg on this story and recommend that all foreign tourists stay away from The USA. Our country needs to be taught a lesson, this is how you treat people, this is what you get, no tourist dollars.

Well, if she really did overstay her Visa she violated immigration laws. So she deserved everything/anything she got, right?

JohnC. I would probably expect some questioning at the airport, but thats about it. Passports can be verified. This woman was denied her rights plain and simple, its pretty appalling.

Don't think that this kind of treatment is an isolated incident. I work in the shipping industry as a marine superintendent for import / export petroleum products. I have seen on a few occasions where immigration / customs officers have quaranteened entire crews on foriegn going vessels due to "reasons of national security" just because they could. On one occasion they would not allow 6 guys trying to make crew change (only wanting to fly home after working on-board this ship for 5 months) simply because he felt he had his toes stepped on because they were dealing with a different customs/immigration office than the one he was from. They were all very nice people 5 from Norway and one from Denmark. All of them were made to sail with the vessel which wasn't due to make port for annother few weeks. I felt very bad for them even appologizing and telling them that this was horrible treatment. But that is what we have come to. :(
