Her dad went on Newsnight BBC2HD.
But said nothing about her lack of correct papers. BBC Reporter failed to ask that. [British tourist detained by ICE at border during 'dream' backpacking trip across America] [A British tourist's dream backpacking trip across America has turned into a nightmare after ICE agents detained her at the Canadian border. Becky Burke, 28, was handcuffed and taken to a detention cell in Tacoma, Washington, on February 26 and is still in custody, according to her distraught family. The traveler's father, Paul Burke, said agents classified Becky as an 'illegal alien' because she attempted to cross the border into Canada with an 'incorrect visa'. ] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...p-america.html |

Tbf, these agencies don't know her character so of course they have to take precautions.
Hopefully she'll be let go soon.

It’s really not hard to check the visa requirements and get correct visas. Silly girl.

…so she should have had a working visa but had a tourist visa…?…I feel for her with her experience but yeah, it’s important to have the correct paperwork always…it was fortunate that it was USA because she could have been detained for so much longer in some countries…correct paperwork and visa is such an important thing…
