A former police officer from New South Wales Australia, Nikki Saroukos, went through a terrifying experience during a recent trip to Honolulu, Hawaii, where she was visiting her husband, a lieutenant in the U.S. Army. Even though she was traveling legally on a tourist visa, she was detained, subjected to invasive searches, and held overnight in a federal detention facility.
This is not a case of reaching; this is exactly what happened. She was literally detained and kept for having too many clothes, and the basic rights given to detained persons were not followed. According to Daily Mail, A spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said, “The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade provided consular assistance to an Australian who was detained in Honolulu. Owing to our privacy obligations we are unable to provide further comment.”
