Naqvi was born in Evanston and raised in the Chicago suburbs. A few weeks ago, she was set to travel overseas for a work trip with five other people. That group included three U.S. citizens and three green card holders, all in the U.S. legally.
That trip ultimately fell through at the last minute, so the group went on to continue traveling. On Thursday, Naqvi and her colleagues arrived back in Chicago, where DHS allegedly detained her for what her attorney says was a "curious travel history."
Naqvi's family says she was detained for 30 hours at Chicago O'Hare International Airport before being sent to Broadview.
At some point, the family said, they lost Naqvi's location that was being shared from her phone. Relatives said federal agents continued to tell them that Naqvi was not in custody, despite her location previously showing her at the Broadview Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.
"The cops were lying to our faces," said Sarah Afzal, Naqvi's sister. "We were asking them, 'Hey, her location is here. We were in contact with her,' and they kept being like, 'I don't know what to tell you.'"

The family said Naqvi was later sent to a facility in Dodge County, Wisconsin, where she was later released early Saturday morning.
They said her phone was dead, so she had to hitch hike with a person driving nearby to a hotel, where her family was able to pick her up.

2. They need to all be prosecuted if we ever get back into power. Trump's "pardons" be damned.

Sundas "Sunny" Naqvi drew national attention last month, when the 28-year-old claimed she and five others returned from a work trip in Turkey on March 5, and were held by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at O'Hare International Airport for 30 hours, moved to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview, and then transferred to the Dodge County Jail.
. . .
But her claims were later disputed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which released surveillance images they said show Naqvi was able to leave O'Hare about 90 minutes after she landed.
On Friday, Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt filed a defamation lawsuit against Naqvi and Morrison, and outlined evidence he said proves her claims were false.
. . .
Schmidt showed a guest folio that appears to show Naqvi checked into a hotel in Rosemont, Illinois, about three hours after she landed at O'Hare on March 5.
He also showed surveillance video that appears to show Naqvi was driven to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, and back to the Chicago area on March 7 by an ex-boyfriend.
The only response, so far:

To be fair,
hardluck only posted the punchbowl turd half an hour ago. OTOH, DUpipo, 5 weeks ago, were utterly credulous, with not one suggesting that there might be more to the story.
