    There absolutely must be a hearing. It’s not like her visa just expired and she forgot. She purposely didn’t renew it while she was renewing her work visa. And she renewed her work visa again after that so it’s been a while. And the story that she thought it just magically renewed the next time she renewed it doesn’t hold water. She didn’t renew it because it was expensive the next time she renewed it it wasn’t super expensive It was still the work visa only. No question she knew this.

    The grim fact is ice is doing so much nefarious shit their hearings are so backed up that it doesn’t happen in a reasonable amount of time. There are a lot of hearings ahead of hers. And unfortunately a lot of them probably have kids with them too. I shudder the think how many children we have locked up in shit holes down there in the name of “immigration”.

    If they can’t give her an expedited hearing to not keep the children in jail they should have sent her to NZ with them. There was nobody in the US that could have taken the kids legally, and there’s no way she is getting away crossing borders without legal status and just slinking back into the US like nothing happened.

    Odds are, if she did this back before crazy town was in office she had a pretty good chance of getting deported back then too.

    You have to understand, from Canada’s perspective she came into the country illegally, Even if it was partially there fuckup. I’d like to think that Canada would turn a blind eye given the situation and let her back out without incident, and that’s probably what she thought too.

    To be honest, Canada should have given her the choice of going back to NZ. It would have been inconvenient AF, but she could have flown back legally at that point and not been on the hook for anything.

      Am I having a stroke?? I’m really missing where she entered canada illegally. People keep saying she did but I don’t think it says that anywhere. Can someone help me out?

      My understanding is that she’s a NZ citizen, which means she doesn’t need a visa to enter canada.

      Edit: canada sucks too and they absolutely detain children in horrific conditions for indeterminate amounts of time too, but people saying they made the states do the dirty work for them here, I don’t get it.

      I just don’t understand what the rationale would be for holding anyone in prison. Send them home and tell them when their hearing is.

        She’s in jail, not prison, waiting a hearing to see if she’s going to get to stay here. and she broke international law.

        It sucks, but she really shouldn’t have done that.

        Adding insult to injury she’s not making money to pay her rent, or able to work for the company that was sponsoring her work visa. So even after all of this she might end up having to go back to NZ.

              That’s not the point. Don’t be pedantic. The point is that she shouldn’t be in custody at all. They had the option of letting her go home with a court date. They chose to lock her up for weeks instead.

                I’m just gonna copy paste a message I sent to someone else on this thread:

                I think that person is a bot. Someone double-posted by mistake and got the same reply to both messages, but from two completely different accounts, one of them being this one. That doesn’t just happen. Most likely it’s some bot network reacting to a type of message (in this case the message had /s at the end, and the two identical replies were about how “maybe we should say egregious things without the /s to keep people guessing”).

                In this case, it’s the other account. I’m certain they haven’t been to neither jail nor prison. If they’re even real, then they’re in the dimly lit open space of a troll farm.

              Careful, don’t agree with me they’re having too much fun circle jerking. Let em go, they’re enjoying themselves.
