OTAY MESA, Calif — A German tourist is fighting to get released from an immigration detention center after she was denied entry at the San Diego border and taken into custody by ICE last month.

(snip)“She says it was like a horror movie. They were screaming in all different rooms. After nine days, she said she went so insane that she started punching the walls and then she's got blood on her knuckles,” Lofving said.

Staff at the private detention facility then brought in a psychologist, Lofving said.

“This psychologist tries to prescribe her anti-psychotic medicine. She refuses the medicine. “She says, ‘I don't want medicine. I just want to either get deported and go home, or just not be in a room alone because this is not cool.’”

2. In another article, it notes that Ms. Brosche had a return ticket to Germany for February 15th.

That was 2 weeks ago. If they planned on releasing her, she should have been released for that flight.

So why is she still being held?

7. Because they can. LEO love the power trips.

13. Yep. Same reason they detained her to begin with as all her paperwork was in order.

They claim she was working in America with no proof as she was entering America at the time. If she was just entering, how can they claim she was already working?

3. They are holding her because they are accusing her of working in the US. Well has the statute of limitations

passed for Melania and Eloon? They both worked without authorization. Let's throw them in solitary.

9. A couple of days ago

I was eating lunch with a friend from Germany who has had a green card for years. This time when he and his wife arrived from Germany immigration told them that green cards were not meant for people who would be out of the US for more than 60 days. They gave them some form to relinquish their green cards after holding them in immigration for a while.
