"Urgent Appeal: Help Bring Becky Home
Our daughter Becky, a 28-year-old British tourist, has been caught up in the recent immigration crackdown in the US. What was meant to be a life-changing four-month backpacking trip across North America has turned into a nightmare. Becky has now been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for over ten days, with no clear timeline for her release.
On February 26th, Becky attempted to cross the Canadian border for the next leg of her journey. Unfortunately, due to an incorrect visa, she was denied entry into Canada. When she tried to return to the US, she was refused re-entry and classified as an "illegal alien." Despite being a tourist with no criminal record, she was handcuffed and taken to a detention facility in Tacoma, Washington.
Beckyโ€™s current conditions are deeply concerning. She is sharing a cell, surviving on a diet of cold rice, potatoes, and beans (she is vegan), and has limited access to phone calls. Visitors  are restricted to speaking through a glass screen via telephone. All her possessions have been confiscated, and she feels isolated and desperate to come home.
We are doing everything we can. Our local MP has contacted David Lammyโ€™s office, and we are in touch with the British Consulate in London and San Francisco. An American friend is helping by sending funds to her inmate account so she can buy basic necessities like tea and milk. However, progress has been slow, and we urgently need more support.
We are asking for your help. Please share Beckyโ€™s story widely through your networks. We hope to connect with experts, legal professionals, or anyone who can offer advice or assistance. Becky is a kind, adventurous young woman who simply wants to return home to her family.
Thank you for your support."

Burke is known in the comics community, setting up at Thought Bubble, writing for Broken Frontier and making some pretty good comics. Her Instagram is as typical and normal as a cartoonists IG can be, including some now devastating photos of the earlier carefree good times on her trip. Her last post was about the joys of travel."

British cartoonist R.E. "Becky" Burke has been detained by ICE since February 26, in a Tacoma, WA detention facility. ICE appears to be going after artists because they might try to make art in the US, or sell their art? Comics folks, we need to protect our own. www.comicsbeat.com/cartoonist-r...

The War Trump Chooses That wasn't Trump against Zelens'kyi. It was Americans against reason

The attempted mugging of a visiting president was about the world war that Musk, Trump, and Vance have chosen. If we attend to what Vance and Trump said yesterday, we can work our way to the unreason of American policy, and to the chaos that will follow.

I ended up needing something for my dinner recipe, and had to shop - spent my cash at a local, Guatemalan owned/operated ethnic import/grocer general store. I'm terrified ICE or the fear of them will end up closing them down.

I live in a small town in rural, very red Kansas, and was AMAZED at how desolate every place was. Walmart had some shoppers, but nowhere near the usual, and the local independent grocery store was BARE. (I figured shoppers in need would go there in emergencies, but the owners are MAGA, so...)
