ICE detains US born citizen in Chicago, drops her 2 days later in WI where she has to hitchhike

https://abc7chicago.com/post/sunny-naqvi-us-citizen-detained-dhs-chicago-ohare-airport-sent-broadview-ice-facility-dodge-county-wi-released/18693499/

Naqvi was born in Evanston and raised in the Chicago suburbs. A few weeks ago, she was set to travel overseas for a work trip with five other people. That group included three U.S. citizens and three green card holders, all in the U.S. legally.


That trip ultimately fell through at the last minute, so the group went on to continue traveling. On Thursday, Naqvi and her colleagues arrived back in Chicago, where DHS allegedly detained her for what her attorney says was a "curious travel history."

Naqvi's family says she was detained for 30 hours at Chicago O'Hare International Airport before being sent to Broadview.

At some point, the family said, they lost Naqvi's location that was being shared from her phone. Relatives said federal agents continued to tell them that Naqvi was not in custody, despite her location previously showing her at the Broadview Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.

"The cops were lying to our faces," said Sarah Afzal, Naqvi's sister. "We were asking them, 'Hey, her location is here. We were in contact with her,' and they kept being like, 'I don't know what to tell you.'"

The family said Naqvi was later sent to a facility in Dodge County, Wisconsin, where she was later released early Saturday morning.

They said her phone was dead, so she had to hitch hike with a person driving nearby to a hotel, where her family was able to pick her up.

They're a criminal syndicate that needs to be put in its place.

... some time back about a watering hole in Africa whose bottom, unknown to area residents, sequestered vast amounts of CO2. One day it all bubbled to the surface and killed everything and everyone within a considerable radius.
The evil in this country to which you referred reminded me of that horrific event. The parallels are inescapable.
