Kindly learn to read. Pretty please:
She is NOT a US citizen. She is EU citizen living in the USA on the green card, illegly detained as multiple other EU and British citizens.
No. EU and British citizens should not have been detained in the first place and should not have been jailed for weeks - and if USA carries on like that, EU should definitely answer in kind.
I think greencard means resident. If its the step right before citizenship then you have all rights outside of voting and jury duty.
Like the right to be detained. And removed if some fascist fucker decides so.
yeah all the rights we all live under now. don't forget being accused of terrorism because you say something they don't like. complain about tesla its a terrorism, mention his low poling and you better thats a terrorism.
Is that not what a valid green card means?
You say no. But that is just the truth. They are not being dissapeared like others are.
It should not have been happening of course.
Whether the EU should "answer in kind" is just warmongering. Stop going instantly towards declaring something that looks like a war declaration. Instead condemn the US and its treatment of people, and make people liable for themselves when going there by warning them.
EDIT: Going to block you for harassment.
No, it doesn't. 🤦
At no point I said such thing - I merely suggested EU should do what USA are already doing.
Edit: say what now???
