This is a non-story. She was doing consulting work in the US without getting the required work permit. She lied about it, and was also given the choice of returning back to Switzerland (which she declined) and that's how she ended up in detention.
If you have conflicting sources please cite them
It's now a pervasive idea in America that non-citizens have no rights. Not just the rights that US citizens are entitled to, basic UN-chartered human rights are being deprived. Either you are an American*, or you are some sort of head of cattle that can be done with as they please.
*terms and conditions apply
Your quoted text clearly states she was meeting clients. That's not allowed on a tourist visa (same rule applies in Switzerland). She was then told she could not enter the country and had to turn around -- she refused and was put in detention (same rule applies to anyone visiting Switzerland). Other reports note that she was doing her online courses from NYC.
It clearly states she was meeting people who happened to be clients online for coffee. And nothing about consulting, so clearly you are going off of other sources
As noted in the article, she had been making a multitude of trips to NYC to meet with her clients all while on a tourist visa. That is a textbook visa violation and the same treatment would have happened under Biden.
No, as noted in the article she took multiple trips to US to vacation and meet friends, this occasion being for her birthday, and that while here she met with some students who she happened to teach online. You've seemingly decided to reinterpret this all into some other sequence of events while still claiming the article as your source
DrunkEngineer may well be living up to their name right now.
Is there a link to another source? This one doesn’t give that information.
Even if she was, this is absolutely unacceptable treatment of a human being. Her actually doing that would not warrant such treatment, even if she was actually convicted (she wasn't even charged). There is no due process anymore in America, which we should never consider normal and always consider newsworthy.
