Imagine traveling to visit your loved one, only to find yourself behind bars, subjected to aggressive questioning, and deported back home.
This is exactly what happened to Nikki Saroukos, a former police officer from NSW, when she visited her US Army husband in Hawaii.
A Valid Visa Wasn't Enough
They took her to a federal detention center and jailed her with criminals. Why are we housing people with immigration issues in prisons? This girl never should have been detained at all.
"There were prisoners everywhere. I learned that I was being housed with convicted murderers,” she said.
“(Other inmates) told me I looked like a fish out of water and even gave me soap and a towel.
“As a former police officer it was such an irony to be on the other side of things. Those inmates treated me better than anyone else.”"
