Woman held in shackles at JFK for overstaying visa

by Martha Edwards Dec 17th 2007 @ 4:12PM

Officials at JFK might have some 'splaining to do after they shackled a detained an Icelandic tourist for days -- all because she had overstayed her tourist visa 10 years ago. Erla Osk Arnardottir Lillendahl, 33, is not happy about the treatment she received upon arriving at JFK -- she's even called the experience the most humiliating of her life.

Lillendahl was arrested at JFK and interrogated for two days. During that time, she was held in a cell, had her hands and feet chained, was not permitted to call relatives and was even denied food and drink for a period of time. Now the Government of Iceland has asked US Ambassadors to explain the incident.

According to Iceland's foreign minister Ingibjorg Solrun Gisladottir, "In a case such as this, there can be no reason to use shackles. If a government makes a mistake, I think it is reasonable for it to apologize, like anyone else."

Can't say I disagree.

Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country before we undertake complicated immigration reform proposals.

Enforce visa rules. Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law. This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas.

Compte tenu que Ron Paul n'est pas au pouvoir, c'est un cheap shot.

Qui a parlé de Finlande ?

Le pays de la statue de la liberté n'est plus ce qu'il était. C'est triste de voir ça.

J'ai du mal à imaginer le genre de questions qu'on peut poser pendant deux jours à ce type de grands criminels…

Je ne pense pas qu'elle ait été bombardée de questions. Le cadre juridique de la garde à vue a été certainement élargi et la durée allongée par le Patriot Act et autres saletés du même ordre. Du coup, lorsque l'on n'est plus tenu par les délais et le formalisme procédural, on prend son temps.

Tu es lamentable.
