I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped (infosec.pub)

... because you had been. Hence the travel warnings.

Shame it takes a pretty white girl for people to pretend to give a shit.

ICE must be dismantled.

Nobody gonna mention she’s a snake oil saleswoman? Literally, her company Holy!Water was selling Electrolyte Water infused with Psilocybin, no joke.

Also she has more history, mostly around crack-pot anti-vaccine and fake cures.

Who fucking cares if she's a quack literally nobody should be in those camps. Every ice employee should be put on trial.

Don't share a link to her company then. No such thing as bad publicity. Making her company name more well known is likely to generate business for her.

That seems like the opposite of snake oil. She's selling holy water that actually lets you see god...

I was given the opportunity to help launch an American brand of health tonics called Holy! Water

Competition in potential Trump grift-space. No wonder she was detained.

Yup, what she was selling is technically Federally Illegal and she was crossing into the US to do business.
