German woman held for 45 days—including over a week in solitary—after returning from Tijuana visit as U.S. border agents detain spate of European and Canadian tourists

Quick Summary:

Detentions of European tourists at U.S.borders are sparking fears of traveling to America.

On the Canadian border, a backpacker from Wales spent nearly three weeks at a detention center before flying home this week.
