‘I was a British tourist trying to leave the US. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre’

Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking of going to Trump’s America: don’t do it

@jeffjarvis @briankrebs guys, don’t go to DEF CON. Don’t go to Orlando or Vegas. Being white or Canadian or British won’t save you

In case you were wondering: ' What's the alternative in Northern Hemisphere Summer' -> In Europe this is festival Season. We don't want to be indoors. There are a gazillion of Hacker Camps. Not boot camps. Tent Camps. With all the Blinkenlights and Wifi you can eat. Most of them are small but some are big. Some are listed here https://events.ccc.de/ But there are more!
