ICE Shackled Tourist Grandma, 65, and Held Her for Weeks

A British grandmother’s vacation to the U.S. ended with the woman being unlawfully held in immigration detention for six weeks.

Karen Newton, 65, along with her husband Bill, 66, were detained by ICE after attempting to leave the U.S. and enter Canada. Karen told The Guardian that her tourist visa was valid, but her husband’s had expired.
