Homeland Security employee Trevor Hughes's fiancée was arbitrarily deported back to her Stuttgart home because Atlanta border control thought she might violate her visa and try and settle permanently. They stripped her of her diamond engagement ring, left her for 20 hours without food, often in a blank cell, and thanks to the unchecked vagaries of an extra-judicial officer, she may never get back into the States again. Her crime fault? Probably, either being German, or being born in Pakistan. But we'll never know, because none of the authorities concerned are willing to talk about this.
That's the rant summary. Now read the original article (via Boing Boing).
