I think deporting someone if they remain for months after their visa is revoked is perfectly acceptable. Ideally the person should be allowed to do it themselves in the few weeks after. By all appearances, she was capable of doing so and simply did not.

Detaining someone indefinitely in inhumane conditions is not acceptable under any circumstances.

It is also true that she could have avoided detention by leaving the country as soon as her visa was revoked. It doesn't matter whether revocation was reasonable at that point, because she is now in a country that is actively hostile toward her.

Her visa was revoked in November. She obviously remained in the US, where she attempted to cross again at the Mexico border, because she was obviously still living and working in California all those months when she should have been back in Canada.

It is not acceptable for the US to detain her; she also could have avoided it by following the rules, and others can avoid it too.

That's my point.
