Her mom brought her French passport in to ICE on the third day, May 24, and it wasn’t until May 29 that the Canadian authorities declared her admissable. Sure, it is terrible that it took so long but she crossed into the US via a dirt path from a country where she was not a citizen but was a visitor and with no id to prove any of it. Plus she just said she didn’t see any signs and that in Europe, all the borders are open and she didn’t know Canada-US worked differently.

I’m not saying whether or not they should have detained her or just turned her around and sent her back, just that there is more to it than you posted.
