An Asian woman who lives in Georgia is alleging that federal
agents detained her for more than an hour because they mistook her for a
human trafficking victim.
Local NBC affiliate 11 Alive reports that Atlanta metro area resident Stephanie Ung says she and her friend were both departing a Delta flight back from Cancun when they were stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers who detained and questioned them for over an hour.
Ung explained to them that she was just trying to get home to see her family, but they didn’t buy her story.
“I just kept telling them that I wanted to go home for my family Thanksgiving dinner, and that they were making me late, but they just didn’t care,” she said. “They just laughed.”
