Detained Welsh tourist tells of experience in US

by Madison

A Welsh tourist who was detained in a US immigration centre has spoken of her experiences.

Becky Burke, 28, spent 19 days in a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing centre in Washington State after being denied entry into Canada, over a "visa mix-up".

Ms Burke believed that her case was "prioritised" following a combination of media, social media and diplomatic pressure since her case was first made public.

A spokesperson for US Customs and Border Protection previously told the BBC they could not discuss specific cases but travellers were treated with "integrity, respect and according to law".
