  • The German tourist was traveling under an ESTA visa waiver, which explicitly prohibits employment in the U.S. While there’s no conclusive evidence she worked illegally, ICE may have suspected a violation.

    However, even if such a suspicion were valid, her treatment—being detained for over a month and spending nine days in solitary confinement—was grossly disproportionate and violated both CBP’s 72-hour detention limit and international standards for humane treatment.
