Summary
German tattoo artist Jessica Brösche, 26, is indefinitely detained by ICE after being denied entry at the San Diego border from Tijuana.
Despite possessing a valid German passport, visa waiver, and return ticket to Berlin, she underwent secondary inspection and spent days in detention, including eight in solitary confinement.
Accused of planning to violate the terms of the visa waiver by working in Los Angeles as a tattoo artist, her ordeal is described as "like a horror movie.”
Brösche‘s friend Amelia Lofving was finally able to track her down and visited after 25 days.
Interesting how the moment a german gets detained its like a horror movie. Not blaming the germans but the media can fuck off.
I love my Germans and all but wow! Just wow! Millions of Mexicans, Hispanic, Latinos and Chinese get detained and deported. But here comes one white person from Germany and wow! Now its s horror movie. Entire families torn apart, babies and small children lost forever, but nothing compares to the suffering of one German woman for 8 days! My God!
But I’m pretty sure she might agree with my point here before you start down voting. I mean wouldn’t you sort of agree that maybe something is just fucking wrong and all lives should matter the same no matter where you might have come from? I known this comment might rough up some feathers. But think to yourself… Is a German’s mother’s suffering more than a Mexican’s mom if the assholes at the border took her baby?
Time will tell. Is this it? Do we forget Jessica somewhere in Guantanamo just for Trump to make a point? Or do we all walk together realizing that Trump is a nazi and jailing people indefinitely is what nazis did? This shit has got to stop! I say get all the Jessicas out…Black, Brown, Asian or European, all of them need freedom.
Hm, we were planning to go to LA this year, but with a German passport in light of this article, Uhm, I’m having second thoughts. I wasn’t that worried about problems when we went to China last year.
Go to Vancouver instead. Much better than LA.
The Winchester brothers agree!
