She won't be going back to the US in future and other notables will be giving pause before bothering to go there.
You need to be careful about who you let wear uniforms in
your county. From FAs to doormen you seem to grant them too much power.
The current US Administration wants to be less careful about who wears CBP uniforms:

To grow the number of DHS employees the new President wants, they want to make it easier to get less qualified Americans to work for CBP than is currently allowed. That "flexibility" in hiring/retention standards means more -- not fewer -- CBP bad apples and foolish/ignorant shenanigans from CBP at US ports of entry. This Australian author experienced this under the current ("high") standards of CBP employment practices; it will be even more of a gamble at US ports of entry when the CBP hiring standards are "relaxed".
