A brief trip to Canada and a small paperwork mistake landed a Washington state mother and her 6-year-old son in US immigration detention for more than three weeks, her attorney told CNN.
Correction: she visited Canada legally, but did not obtain the correct re-entry permit for the US side. She had status to be in the US and to work there, but not to enter the US from outside. It’s the States’ silly immigration laws that were broken and what she was disproportionately punished for.

Then why was she stopped at the CBP instead of the US?
